About our bath repair in Dunwich
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We are often asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Dunwich
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dunwich. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Dunwich: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Dunwich. Prices don’t change with location.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Signs you need bath repair in Dunwich
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Holes from dropped items
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
Before booking anyone

- What happens if they find more damage

- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
