About our bath repair in Haughley
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Haughley. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
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.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Common problems we fix in Haughley
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A chipped rim or side
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Same prices wherever you are
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy
See our prices page and bath cost comparison.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Haughley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Haughley questions
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you work in Haughley?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Haughley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
