Bath repair at your home in Waldringfield
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and a chipped rim or side, we can generally put it right, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Waldringfield, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When to call us in Waldringfield
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused by builders
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps

Will you leave a mess?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Waldringfield and the rest of Suffolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
