What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How we handle bath repair in East Tilbury
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the price in East Tilbury
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in East Tilbury
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What we are called out for in East Tilbury
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
