What else we do in Bildeston
Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Questions from Bildeston
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What affects the price in Bildeston
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
