Advice
About our bath repair in Shimpling
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and chips on the rim or sides, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Shimpling
If you manage property in Shimpling, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
Your questions about bath repair in Shimpling
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Suffolk.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
