Repairing versus replacing in Diss
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we handle bath repair in Diss
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and rust spots around the plughole, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Diss
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Diss. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Diss get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP22 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Diss
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
