DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
About our bath repair in Wickham Skeith
You do not 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. We’re often asked to fix damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Wickham Skeith and across Suffolk.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Your questions about bath repair in Wickham Skeith
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Wickham Skeith included. Travel is included in the price.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Common problems we fix in Wickham Skeith
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Why book with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
