Repairing versus replacing in Herringfleet
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. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
What we are called out for in Herringfleet
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Common reasons people in Herringfleet contact us are:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
FAQs for Herringfleet
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
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.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
