Bath repair at your home in Tollesbury
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in Tollesbury
Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What affects the price in Tollesbury
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Tollesbury. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
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.
Common problems we fix in Tollesbury
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

- What protection goes down before work starts
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
