There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and snagging damage from a refit, we can generally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Leiston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Signs you need bath repair in Leiston
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

Leiston: your questions answered
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you work in Leiston?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Leiston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
