About our bath repair in West Tilbury
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about impact holes in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in West Tilbury, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we are called out for in West Tilbury
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No need to remove anything
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Questions from West Tilbury
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes West Tilbury. Prices don’t change with location.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
