Bath Repair in Bury St Edmunds
Bath repair in and around Bury St Edmunds: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Bath repair in Bury St Edmunds, done in place
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Common problems we fix in Bury St Edmunds
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
