Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
Bath repair in Capel St Mary without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Capel St Mary: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
We cover the entire UK, including Capel St Mary and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Capel St Mary
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Capel St Mary as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. 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 will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colour-matched on site
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What we’re called out for in Capel St Mary
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched

What affects the price in Capel St Mary
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Capel St Mary. The price comes down to:

- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
