Our Bath Repair:
The Frost Estate, Lampits Hill, and Springhouse Road areas contain hundreds of homes built in the 1960s-70s boom. These properties typically feature pressed steel baths - workhorses that have served families for decades but now show chips around the waste area and worn enamel. Many still have original colored suites (avocado, primrose, pampas) that are expensive to replace but easy to repair. Our bath repair near Lampits Hill service specializes in these exact bath types.
Corringham has many ex-council properties now in private ownership or managed by housing associations. These homes often have basic but solid baths that just need professional attention.

The Williams family contacted us about their 1970s pressed steel bath with multiple chips and rust spots showing through. With young children, they needed a safe, smooth surface but couldn't afford the £2,000 quoted for replacement. We completed a full restoration in 4 hours for £395, including rust treatment and complete resurfacing. The bath now looks better than new and has survived two years of family use perfectly. Mrs Williams particularly appreciated that we worked around school hours, completing everything while the kids were out.

Our 30 years of experience meant we knew exactly how to handle these older bath types.

Cost: £325, compared to potentially losing a buyer or dropping the price by thousands. The sale completed on schedule and the repair is guaranteed for 12 months.
Step 1 - Assessment: Every bath repair Corringham job starts with careful inspection. We check the bath material (usually pressed steel in SS17 properties), examine the damage extent, and verify the support structure - crucial in estate homes where baths often lack proper reinforcement.
Step 2 - Preparation: We protect your bathroom completely with dust sheets and remove any loose material from damaged areas. For the rust problems common in Corringham's older baths, we apply specialist treatments that stop corrosion permanently. The surface is then prepared to ensure perfect adhesion.
Step 3 - Repair: Using professional materials, we build up damaged areas in thin layers. This technique, perfected over 30 years, prevents shrinkage and ensures invisible repairs. We color-match exactly - whether keeping that retro avocado or changing to modern white.
Step 4 - Finishing: Multiple grades of finishing ensure a perfect surface match. The final coating provides superior durability - essential for Corringham's busy family bathrooms. Most repairs are touch-dry in 4 hours and fully cured within 24 hours.
Step 5 - Warranty: Every repair includes our 12-month warranty certificate. We photograph the completed work and provide care instructions to ensure maximum lifespan. Most repairs last 10-15 years with basic care.
