The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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, normally the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ickworth
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
FAQs for Ickworth
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Repair or replace in Ickworth?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ickworth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?

- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
