For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rumburgh use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Rumburgh
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repair or replace in Rumburgh?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Do you need bath repair in Rumburgh?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A chipped rim or side
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

- Who will actually do the work
- How to care for the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
