DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Do you need bath repair in Cock Clarks?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What affects the price in Cock Clarks
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cock Clarks. The price comes down to:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Common questions in Cock Clarks
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
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, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
Across the UK, and that includes Cock Clarks. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Around Cock Clarks
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to The Fox and Hounds pub. The nearest railway station is South Woodham Ferrers station, about 3.2 miles south of the centre. Further afield, we also cover the area around Baddow Hospital (5.4 miles west). For a walk, there’s Maldon Wick.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
