Bath repair at your home in Great Snoring
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Common questions in Great Snoring
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for Great Snoring?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Great Snoring
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items

Landlord and trade work in Great Snoring
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
If you are in Great Snoring and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
