Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
About our bath repair in Orwell
You don’t 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. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and snagging damage from a refit, we can normally put it right, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we’re called out for in Orwell
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Orwell
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Orwell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Common questions in Orwell
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
