Bath repair in Maldon, done in place

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Maldon as everywhere else we work.

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Maldon use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Maldon, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
