Bath repair in Blythburgh, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and deep scratches in acrylic.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Common questions in Blythburgh
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Blythburgh. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Blythburgh, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
