Bath repair at your home in Gromford
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We are often asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust by the waste and overflow, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gromford and across Suffolk.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gromford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Common questions in Gromford
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How much does bath repair cost in Gromford?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price

Advice
Common problems we fix in Gromford
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repairing versus replacing in Gromford
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
