Bath repair at your home in Riverhead
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and cracks in an acrylic bath.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
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 it pays to deal with it early.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
FAQs for Riverhead
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TN13 postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Repairing versus replacing in Riverhead
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Riverhead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting 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 quote.
Advice
Do you need bath repair in Riverhead?
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
