Bath repair at your home in St Vincent's Hamlet
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and damage beneath the taps, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One price list for the whole UK
- Work done at your home or business

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
If you’re in St Vincent's Hamlet and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair

Common questions in St Vincent's Hamlet
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
