How we handle bath repair in Copford
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the day after. We are often asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and chips on the rim or sides, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repair or replace in Copford?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Copford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Copford questions
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you come to Copford?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Copford and the rest of Essex. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Copford. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
