Bath chip & crack repair in Dickleburgh, Suffolk

- Chips on the rim or sides

What we’re called out for in Dickleburgh
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- How to look after the finish
How we handle bath repair in Dickleburgh
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Dickleburgh and across Suffolk.

Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath repair in Dickleburgh
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Dickleburgh. Prices do not change with location.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back

- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dickleburgh
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Dickleburgh, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
