Bath repair in Bacton Green without replacing anything
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 work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a kit repair that didn’t last and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bacton Green. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

How do I book?

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

What happens after I send photos?

Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Signs you need bath repair in Bacton Green
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage from a refit

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bacton Green use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
