What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to The Banks. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in The Banks and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What else we do in The Banks
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in The Banks
If you manage property in The Banks, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
The Banks: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP22 postcode.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price

Common problems we fix in The Banks
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
