Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Same prices wherever you are

Bath repair at your home in Ulting
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We are often asked to fix holes from dropped items and chips along the edge of the bath, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Ulting get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Ulting questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
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 picture.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
