Bath repair in Upper Street, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We are often asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Street
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Repairing versus replacing in Upper Street
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common problems we fix in Upper Street
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book

What else we do in Upper Street
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Upper Street questions
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Upper Street included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Upper Street. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
