How we handle bath repair in Seawick
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with holes from dropped items and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Seawick, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When to call us in Seawick
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
