Questions from Jaywick
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Jaywick. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Common problems we fix in Jaywick
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips caused by builders
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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 following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
