Bath repair in Little Bradley without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not 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.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Little Bradley questions
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Little Bradley?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work in Little Bradley?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Little Bradley and the rest of Suffolk. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What affects the price in Little Bradley
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Little Bradley. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match

- How many items we do on one visit
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.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
