About bath repair in IP10
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about a chip where the taps sit and chips along the edge of the bath.
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Prices in IP10
Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What’s near Kirton
Our clients here include homes close to The White Horse pub, Trimley St Martin Primary School and Church of St Mary and St Martin and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Trimley station, about 2.1 miles south of the centre. Nearby you will also find Bawdsey Radar (3.9 miles east) and Felixstowe Community Hospital (3.4 miles south-east). Not far away are Newbourne Springs.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Questions from IP10
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
