DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Bath repair in Nayland without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Landlord and trade work in Nayland
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Most clients in Nayland get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

- Holes from dropped items

Questions from Nayland
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
