Bath repair in Great Ashfield, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Great Ashfield. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Signs you need bath repair in Great Ashfield
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side

Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Great Ashfield. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Great Ashfield
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Great Ashfield and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
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
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
