Bath and surface repairs in IP11

About bath repair in IP11

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and snagging damage from a refit.

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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 you’ll pay

Prices start 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in IP11

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Repairing versus replacing

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is.

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

What affects the price in IP11

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

IP11 questions

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
