Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath repair in Redgrave, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the following day. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Repairing versus replacing in Redgrave
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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

FAQs for Redgrave
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you cover Redgrave?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Redgrave from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
