Bath repair at your home in Long Stratton
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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 the part we put right.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Long Stratton: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Signs you need bath repair in Long Stratton
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Comparing quotes
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price covers travel
- How to care for the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Long Stratton. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Long Stratton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Long Stratton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Long Stratton
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
