Bath repair in Great Wigborough, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and a cracked acrylic bath.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Great Wigborough and across Essex.

Great Wigborough: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How much does bath repair cost in Great Wigborough?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CO5 postcode.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Wigborough use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
If you are in Great Wigborough and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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 bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
What affects the price in Great Wigborough
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What we are called out for in Great Wigborough

- A chipped rim or side
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
