Bath repair at your home in West Suffolk
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and rust spots around the plughole.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we are called out for in West Suffolk
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage

How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?

Are there extra charges for West Suffolk?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
