Repair or replace in Ditchingham?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Signs you need bath repair in Ditchingham
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

- How to care for the finish
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
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.
Ditchingham: your questions answered
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you come to Ditchingham?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ditchingham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
What affects the price in Ditchingham
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ditchingham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
The process
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. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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, typically the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
