About our bath repair in Hemsby
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Common call-outs are for hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hemsby and across Norfolk.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hemsby. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Hemsby: your questions answered
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Advice
What we are called out for in Hemsby
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to care for the finish
- How the colour is matched
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hemsby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
