Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
How we handle bath repair in Wrabness
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the day after. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are rust by the waste and overflow and damage beneath the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Common problems we fix in Wrabness
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Other services in Wrabness
Wrabness: your questions answered
Do you cover Wrabness?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Wrabness from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How much does bath repair cost in Wrabness?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Wrabness. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Wrabness and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
