Bath repair at your home in North Shoebury
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and deep scratches in acrylic, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Questions from North Shoebury
Do you cover North Shoebury?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to North Shoebury. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in North Shoebury and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we’re called out for in North Shoebury
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
