Bath Repair in Filby
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Filby, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rust spots around the plughole
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How we handle bath repair in Filby
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace in Filby?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Your questions about bath repair in Filby
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
