How we handle bath repair in Melon Green
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
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?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you manage property in Melon Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
