Bath repair in Great Bricett without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are rust spots around the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Great Bricett questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you come to Great Bricett?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Great Bricett and the rest of Suffolk. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Signs you need bath repair in Great Bricett
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders

The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Great Bricett
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, 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 photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
