Bath and surface repairs in CO2

Bath, tray, sink and worktop repairs across CO2, from Berechurch, Abbey Field and Old Heath. Free, fixed quotes from your photos and a one-year guarantee.

How bath repair works in CO2

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and cracks in an acrylic bath, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  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 next day.

Pricing in CO2

Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Around Berechurch

Typical jobs here are in homes near St Margarets, Thomas Lord Audley School and Language College and Donyland Lodge, among other places. The nearest railway station is Colchester Town station, roughly 1.8 miles north of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Essex County Hospital (1.9 miles north) and Colchester Castle (2.1 miles north). For a walk, there is Roman River Valley.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in CO2

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

If you’re in CO2 and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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.

Repair or replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Common problems we fix in CO2

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
