What affects the price in Loddon
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bath repair in Loddon, done in place
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 rust spots around the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can normally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Loddon and across Norfolk.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

For anyone letting property in or around Loddon, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Signs you need bath repair in Loddon
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Loddon: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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 next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
You don’t 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 price.
