How we handle bath repair in Heybridge Basin
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are holes from dropped items and rust by the waste and overflow.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Heybridge Basin as everywhere else we work.

What we are called out for in Heybridge Basin
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Common questions in Heybridge Basin
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you cover Heybridge Basin?
We do. We send a technician to Heybridge Basin for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CM9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
