How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, 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, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Cargate Common questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, 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 there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?
We work UK-wide, so Cargate Common is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
