Our bath repair service in CO1
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Pricing in CO1
Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landmarks near The Hythe
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Kendall Church of England Primary School, Colchester Academy and The Rising Sun Public House, among other places. You will also find Salary Brook Local Nature Reserve (0.8 miles east), Donyland Lodge (1.5 miles south) and Church of St Leonard at the Hythe (within half a mile north-west). The Hythe has its own railway station: Hythe station. Well-known places in the area include Colchester Castle (1.1 miles north-west) and Essex County Hospital (1.6 miles west).

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
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 frequently lifts.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
CO1: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
