Bath repair at your home in Great Bealings
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Great Bealings. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair

Signs you need bath repair in Great Bealings
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Bealings as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Great Bealings
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Great Bealings and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
