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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Bath repair in Great Green without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What else we do in Great Green
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Great Green
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you come to Great Green?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Great Green and the rest of Suffolk. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair

Signs you need bath repair in Great Green
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
