Bath repair across IP12: what to expect

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are chips under the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy.

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

What you’ll pay

Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Near you in Woodbridge

Typical jobs here are in homes near St Mary's Church of England Primary School, Woodbridge School and Church of St Mary, among other places. You will also find The Royal William Inn (under half a mile south) and Farlingaye High School (0.5 miles north-west). Woodbridge has its own railway station: Woodbridge station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Suffolk Coastal (0.5 miles east) and St Audry's Hospital (1.8 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Hutchison's Meadow.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

IP12: your questions answered

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

Everywhere in the UK, IP12 included. Travel is included in the price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Suffolk.
