Bath repair at your home in Theberton
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are rusty patches near the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common problems we fix in Theberton
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic

Questions from Theberton
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I book?

Do you work in Theberton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Theberton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Theberton?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
