We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Thurrock.

Signs you need bath repair in Coryton

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

What affects the price in Coryton

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coryton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Your questions about bath repair in Coryton

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Do you cover Coryton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Coryton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

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 access behind the panel is important.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Coryton.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
