Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
How we handle bath repair in Reedham
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
FAQs for Reedham
Do you work in Reedham?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Reedham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Reedham?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
