Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Bath repair in Wenhaston without replacing anything
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and impact holes in acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Questions from Wenhaston
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Do you work in Wenhaston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Wenhaston and the rest of Suffolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price

Advice
Common problems we fix in Wenhaston
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Wenhaston
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wenhaston use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
