Bath repair at your home in IP1

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

What it costs in IP1

Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Around Ipswich

We visit homes around Alderman Canal East, The Hand in Hand pub and Church of St Peter, among other places. Nearby too are St Matthew's Church of England Primary School (0.5 miles north-west) and Stoke High School - Ormiston Academy (0.7 miles south). There’s a railway station in Ipswich itself: Ipswich station. Further afield, we also cover the area around The Buttermarket (less than half a mile north) and Ipswich St Mary Stoke (0.7 miles south-west). The countryside around Ipswich includes Papermill Reedbed.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
