About our bath repair in Hoxne
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We are often asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips caused by builders, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price

FAQs for Hoxne
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Hoxne?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
Everywhere in the UK, Hoxne included. Travel is included in the price.

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Hoxne

Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There is nothing special to do after a repair, 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.
