Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Same prices wherever you are
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PE31 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burnham Norton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Burnham Norton questions
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?
Everywhere in the UK, Burnham Norton included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
What we are called out for in Burnham Norton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
