FAQs for Cromer
Are there extra charges for Cromer?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How we handle bath repair in Cromer
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Cromer
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Other services in Cromer
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cromer
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
