Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
About our bath repair in Hoggard's Green
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’s level with the surrounding surface. We’re frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hoggard's Green as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Hoggard's Green
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
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.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
When to call us in Hoggard's Green
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Landlord and trade work in Hoggard's Green
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are
- A fixed quote before you book
- We leave the room as we found it

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
