Should I try a DIY kit first?
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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What we’re called out for in St Osyth Heath
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

St Osyth Heath questions
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
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.
