Bath Repair in Nacton
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths for homes and businesses in Nacton and across Suffolk. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
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.
Bath repair in Nacton without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust by the waste and overflow, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Do you need bath repair in Nacton?
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
