Trusted bath repair in Kirby Row

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

About our bath repair in Kirby Row

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Kirby Row, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Kirby Row questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Kirby Row?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
