About our bath repair in Horning
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips caused by builders.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Horning, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Horning questions
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Horning. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
