Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How we handle bath repair in Ketteringham
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are a kit repair that didn’t last and snagging damage from a refit.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ketteringham and across Norfolk.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Ketteringham
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Questions from Ketteringham
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How much does bath repair cost in Ketteringham?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Do you cover Ketteringham?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ketteringham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.
When to call us in Ketteringham
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
