Bath repair across Lower Hacheston and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Landlord and trade work in Lower Hacheston
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Common problems we fix in Lower Hacheston
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Lower Hacheston questions
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
