Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Bath repair in Pin Mill, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Pin Mill and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Pin Mill: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Do you cover Pin Mill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pin Mill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
