Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What affects the price in East Barsham
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
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.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

East Barsham: your questions answered
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Common problems we fix in East Barsham
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
