Bath repair in Erpingham without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the day after. We are often asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and a cracked acrylic bath, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Erpingham and across Norfolk.

Common questions in Erpingham
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you come to Erpingham?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Erpingham and the rest of Norfolk. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
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.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repair or replace in Erpingham?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
