About our bath repair in Woodham Ferrers
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Other services in Woodham Ferrers
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One price list for the entire UK

Common questions in Woodham Ferrers
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
