About our bath repair in Wickham St Paul
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused by builders and holes from dropped items.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wickham St Paul and across Essex.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

What happens on the day

- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Related advice
What we are called out for in Wickham St Paul
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. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Your questions about bath repair in Wickham St Paul
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Are there extra charges for Wickham St Paul?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you cover Wickham St Paul?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Wickham St Paul from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace in Wickham St Paul?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wickham St Paul
If you manage property in Wickham St Paul, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
