DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How we handle bath repair in Cowey Green
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust spots around the plughole, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace in Cowey Green?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
What you get with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What affects the price in Cowey Green
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Cowey Green get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Do you need bath repair in Cowey Green?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
Cowey Green: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Cowey Green and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How invisible is a bath repair?
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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
