Bath repair in Garboldisham without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Garboldisham as everywhere else we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Garboldisham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Garboldisham questions
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
We cover the entire UK, including Garboldisham and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally 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.
