How we handle bath repair in Canewdon
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips on the rim or sides.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Common problems we fix in Canewdon
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chip where the taps sit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Canewdon: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you come to Canewdon?
We do. Technicians travel to Canewdon from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Landlord and trade work in Canewdon
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Canewdon as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairing versus replacing in Canewdon
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
