Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Questions from Upper Layham
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
We cover the whole UK, including Upper Layham and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
How much does bath repair cost in Upper Layham?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Upper Layham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: 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 is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Layham
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Layham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
