How we handle bath repair in Stanton Chare

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Stanton Chare and across Suffolk.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stanton Chare
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Stanton Chare

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
