How we handle bath repair in Alby Hill
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We are often asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

When to call us in Alby Hill
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
FAQs for Alby Hill
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Norfolk.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What affects the price in Alby Hill
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
