Bath repair in Canvey Island without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage beneath the taps, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Bathrooms in Canvey Island range from period terraces to modern estates, and so do the baths in them. Whatever the bath is made of, bath repair is done where it stands, with no plumber or tiler needed.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together. In a town like Canvey Island, most homes have a driveway or nearby street parking, so arranging the visit is straightforward. Tell us if the bath is upstairs or in a flat.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

For anyone letting property in or around Canvey Island, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SS8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
