About our bath repair in Leigh-on-Sea
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or sides and a chip where the taps sit.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Leigh-on-Sea
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
What we are called out for in Leigh-on-Sea
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Your questions about bath repair in Leigh-on-Sea
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
How much does bath repair cost in Leigh-on-Sea?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Leigh-on-Sea. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

- Any earlier repairs or coatings

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
