How we handle bath repair in Howe
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s impact holes in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, we can usually put it right.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

Your questions about bath repair in Howe
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
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.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do you work in Howe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Howe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Howe
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Most customers in Howe get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Do you need bath repair in Howe?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Howe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- No need to remove anything
