Bath repair in Pentlow without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and rusty patches near the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pentlow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match

What we’re called out for in Pentlow
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Damage beneath the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Questions from Pentlow
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Pentlow?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CO10 postcode.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Suffolk.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is 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 a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
