Bath repair in Stoke-by-Nayland without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Stoke-by-Nayland, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace in Stoke-by-Nayland?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Your questions about bath repair in Stoke-by-Nayland
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
