Bath chip & crack repair in East Wretham, Norfolk
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in East Wretham, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How we handle bath repair in East Wretham
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and a cracked acrylic bath.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Common questions in East Wretham
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in East Wretham.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in East Wretham, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
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. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we are called out for in East Wretham
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
