Bath repair at your home in Great Tey
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are damage beneath the taps and a chipped rim or side.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Common questions in Great Tey
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
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.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When to call us in Great Tey
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

What else we do in Great Tey
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
