Bath repair across CO12: what to expect
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage beneath the taps and rusty patches near the plughole.
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Pricing in CO12
Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted

How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What’s near Harwich
Typical jobs here are in homes near Church of All Saints, St Joseph's Catholic Primary School and Harwich and Dovercourt High School. The nearest railway station is Dovercourt station, roughly 0.9 miles north-east of the centre. A little further out are Landguard Fort (2.5 miles east) and Harwich Museum (1.3 miles north-east). Not far away are Copperas Wood.
Repairing versus replacing
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Signs you need bath repair
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
