Bath repair in Wyverstone without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the next day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a chipped rim or side and chips under the taps.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Wyverstone and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Wyverstone?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Wyverstone

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Wyverstone, photos 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.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
