How the visit works

- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Bath repair in Bedfield Long Green, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Bedfield Long Green
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Questions from Bedfield Long Green
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. 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 the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bedfield Long Green use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
