Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Bath repair in Earls Colne without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and a chipped rim or side, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Earls Colne. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Your questions about bath repair in Earls Colne
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Earls Colne is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
