About our bath repair in Averham
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Averham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Do you need bath repair in Averham?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Averham: your questions answered
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
