How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access

What we are called out for in Minsmere
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips under the taps

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Minsmere questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Minsmere. Prices don’t change with location.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
