Bath repair at your home in IP26
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We are frequently asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
What you will pay
Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What’s near Feltwell
Typical jobs here are in homes near Edmund de Moundeford VC Primary School and Church of St Mary. Feltwell’s nearest station is Lakenheath station, roughly 2.7 miles south. Further afield, we also cover the area around Weeting Castle (4.1 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Lakenheath Fen RSPB reserve.
Common problems we fix in IP26
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Questions from IP26
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
