How we handle bath repair in Duke Street
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Duke Street questions
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repair or replace in Duke Street?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Do you need bath repair in Duke Street?
Rust usually 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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
