Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Bath repair in Dagworth without replacing anything

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include rust by the waste and overflow and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Dagworth

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Should you replace it?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are

Signs you need bath repair in Dagworth

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

FAQs for Dagworth

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
