Our bath repair service in CM4

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are impact holes in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath.

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

What you will pay

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for CM4. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Local landmarks in Ingatestone

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in CM4 as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

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 matters when someone is living in the home.

What affects the price in CM4

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

CM4: your questions answered

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

We cover the whole UK, including CM4 and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
