Bath chip & crack repair in Bunwell, Norfolk
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Bunwell, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Bath repair at your home in Bunwell
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a hole punched through by something heavy and chips caused by builders.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park

- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bunwell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Common questions in Bunwell
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
