How we handle bath repair in Burnt Heath
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about snagging damage from a refit and impact holes in acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Burnt Heath as everywhere else we work.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Burnt Heath questions
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What affects the price in Burnt Heath
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Burnt Heath, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What we’re called out for in Burnt Heath
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
