Bath repair in Kelvedon, done in place
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage from a refit and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Kelvedon: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Kelvedon?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Repairing versus replacing in Kelvedon
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
