Bath repair in Sible Hedingham without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit.

A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What else we do in Sible Hedingham
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common problems we fix in Sible Hedingham
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Before booking anyone

Sible Hedingham questions
How invisible is a bath 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.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you come to Sible Hedingham?
We do. We send a technician to Sible Hedingham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Are there extra charges for Sible Hedingham?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What affects the price in Sible Hedingham
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Sible Hedingham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. 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.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
