Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Blakenham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Questions from Great Blakenham
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
We cover the whole UK, including Great Blakenham and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you work in Great Blakenham?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Great Blakenham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When to call us in Great Blakenham

- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
