How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Signs you need bath repair in Hethersett
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
Repairs by material
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.
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.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- 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 following day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
