Lakenheath questions
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
About our bath repair in Lakenheath
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you are dealing with snagging damage from a refit and deep scratches in acrylic, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Lakenheath and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side

What affects the price in Lakenheath
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lakenheath. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Lakenheath customers choose us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Work done at your home or business
- One price list for the whole UK
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
