Bath repair in Southchurch without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Southchurch
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you come to Southchurch?
We do. Technicians travel to Southchurch from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
