Local bath repair for Heartsease: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
About our bath repair in Heartsease
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused by builders and a cracked acrylic bath.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Heartsease and across Norfolk.

What we are called out for in Heartsease
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. 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
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Heartsease. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Heartsease questions
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
How do I book?

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
