Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Bath repair in Tendring Green, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tendring Green and across Essex.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tendring Green
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Signs you need bath repair in Tendring Green
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Tendring Green questions
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- 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.
