For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
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.
About our bath repair in Kedington
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repair or replace in Kedington?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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 bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Kedington questions
Do you work in Kedington?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kedington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
