Bath repair in and around Cretingham: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your bath is made of matters
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.
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’s the part we put right.
About our bath repair in Cretingham
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Do you need bath repair in Cretingham?
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to look after the finish
Repairing versus replacing in Cretingham
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- A fixed quote before you book
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We leave the room as we found it

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about bath repair in Cretingham
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
