Bath repair in Croxton, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or sides and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Questions from Croxton
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
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 pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- 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 next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Croxton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One price list for the whole UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

What affects the price in Croxton
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Croxton. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
