Bath Repair in Blundeston
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Blundeston, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
About our bath repair in Blundeston
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a chip where the taps sit and rust spots around the plughole.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Blundeston
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Blundeston
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Common problems we fix in Blundeston
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
