How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

Bath repair in Bucklesham without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and rust spots around the plughole, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bucklesham as everywhere else we work.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Bucklesham. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel

Bucklesham questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Do you need bath repair in Bucklesham?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
