Bath repair in Cantley without replacing anything
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. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and a chipped rim or side, we can help.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Do you need bath repair in Cantley?
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

If you manage property in Cantley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cantley. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Cantley
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

FAQs for Cantley
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
