How we handle bath repair in Woodbridge
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips on the rim or sides, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Different materials, different repairs
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 repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Woodbridge and nearby
Woodbridge is about 7 miles north-east of Ipswich, in Suffolk. We agree a date that works for you, and you will know when to expect us, so there’s no waiting around. Woodbridge is one of 731 towns and villages in Suffolk where we work. We work right across the region, from Woodbridge to London (about 73 miles away).
All of IP12 and IP13 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Local streets include Station Road, Angel Lane and Theatre Street, all of which we cover. Woodbridge sits on or near the A12 and A1152, which makes travel easy. If you’re just outside Woodbridge, we cover Methersgate (2 miles south-east), Waldringfield Heath (3 miles south), Waldringfield (3 miles south), Sutton (3 miles south-east) and Sutton Common (3 miles east). We also work in nearby towns such as Ipswich (7 miles south-west), Felixstowe (9 miles south), Stowmarket (15 miles north-west), Kesgrave (4 miles south-west), Hadleigh (15 miles west) and Stoke (7 miles south-west).

What we’re called out for in Woodbridge
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- What prep work is covered
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
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.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour mixed on the day to match

What else we do in Woodbridge
Woodbridge questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you come to Woodbridge?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Woodbridge from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
