About our bath repair in Fornham All Saints
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP28 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath repair in Fornham All Saints
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How much does bath repair cost in Fornham All Saints?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
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.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What we are called out for in Fornham All Saints
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 enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips caused by builders
Comparing quotes
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
