Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Do you need bath repair in Great Waldingfield?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Great Waldingfield
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
