Bath repair in Chevington without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t 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. If you’re dealing with holes from dropped items and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What affects the price in Chevington
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chevington
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Chevington: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you need bath repair in Chevington?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
