Our bath repair service in CO4
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. We are frequently asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and a hole punched through by something heavy, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Pricing in CO4
Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No need to remove anything

Local landmarks in Colchester
In Colchester, that means homes near Church of St Peter, Bull Meadow and The Bay And Say Public House. Other local landmarks include Colchester Sixth Form College (within half a mile north-west) and St John's Green Primary School (under half a mile south). Colchester has its own railway station: Colchester Town station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Lion Walk (under half a mile south-east) and Essex County Hospital (less than half a mile south-west). Open spaces near Colchester include Westhouse Wood.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit.
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
How the damage happens
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Questions from CO4
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work in CO4?
We do. Technicians travel to CO4 from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
