How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Beccles. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
If you are in Beccles and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How we handle bath repair in Beccles
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow, we can normally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Repairing versus replacing in Beccles
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Beccles: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Beccles
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- 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, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What else we do in Beccles
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Do you need bath repair in Beccles?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
