Saxmundham questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Bath repair at your home in Saxmundham
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We are often asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips caused by builders, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What affects the price in Saxmundham
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Signs you need bath repair in Saxmundham
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Common reasons people in Saxmundham contact us include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for 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 quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
