Landlord and trade work in Camulodunum
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Camulodunum use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No need to remove anything

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common problems we fix in Camulodunum
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Your questions about bath repair in Camulodunum
How do I get a price for bath repair in Camulodunum?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
We cover the whole UK, including Camulodunum and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
