Bath repair at your home in Elmsett
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips along the edge of the bath.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Common questions in Elmsett
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Signs you need bath repair in Elmsett

The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.
