How we handle bath repair in Downham Market
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and damage beneath the taps, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Downham Market
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides

Repair or replace in Downham Market?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
