What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
About our bath repair in Little Clacton
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Little Clacton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One visit for most repairs
- Everything repaired in place

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Do you need bath repair in Little Clacton?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Little Clacton questions
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will the repair show?

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
