How we handle bath repair in Surlingham
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When to call us in Surlingham
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Chips under the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

What else we do in Surlingham
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Surlingham: your questions answered
Do you come to Surlingham?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Surlingham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.
