FAQs for Lower Gresham
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
How we handle bath repair in Lower Gresham
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust by the waste and overflow.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
