Bath repair at your home in Horningtoft
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Horningtoft. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath repair in Horningtoft
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you cover Horningtoft?
We do. We send a technician to Horningtoft for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, 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.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
What we’re called out for in Horningtoft
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to care for the finish
