How we handle bath repair in Risby
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We are frequently asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and a chipped rim or side, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Repair or replace in Risby?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No extra charge for your area

Signs you need bath repair in Risby
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
