Repair or replace in Hollesley?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Questions from Hollesley
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hollesley
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What affects the price in Hollesley
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hollesley. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

When to call us in Hollesley
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

- Roll-top & freestanding
