About our bath repair in Carleton Rode
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We are often asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
When to call us in Carleton Rode
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Look out for these signs:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
Repairs by material
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Carleton Rode, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Your questions about bath repair in Carleton Rode
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What areas do you cover?
All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
