How we handle bath repair in Cow Green
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about a chip where the taps sit and rusty patches near the plughole.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Cow Green
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Questions from Cow Green
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Are there extra charges for Cow Green?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
