How we handle bath repair in Little Wakering
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Little Wakering
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Little Wakering: your questions answered
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
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.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Are there extra charges for Little Wakering?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you work in Little Wakering?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Little Wakering and the rest of Southend-on-Sea. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. 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.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Little Wakering
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
