What affects the price in Washbrook Street
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Washbrook Street. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Bath repair at your home in Washbrook Street
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can typically put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Common questions in Washbrook Street
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Our work in Washbrook Street
Washbrook Street is about 3 miles west of Ipswich, in Suffolk. We visit homes and businesses in Washbrook Street, so there is no workshop to go to. Washbrook Street is one of 731 places in Suffolk we cover. Our jobs stretch from Washbrook Street to London (about 63 miles away).
All of IP8 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. If you are just outside Washbrook Street, we cover Washbrook (1 mile south-east), Copdock (1 mile south), Coles Green (1 mile south-west), Mace Green (1 mile south) and Chattisham (1 mile south-west).

Around Washbrook Street
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Stone Lodge Park, Copdock Primary School and Chantry Academy. You will also find St Mary's Church (less than half a mile south), Bridge School (1.3 miles east) and The Brook Inn (0.7 miles south-east). Washbrook Street’s nearest station is Ipswich station, roughly 3 miles east of the centre.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Washbrook Street?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
