Bath repair in Lower Thurlton without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Lower Thurlton
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
FAQs for Lower Thurlton
Do you come to Lower Thurlton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Lower Thurlton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What areas do you cover?
All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
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 is the part we put right.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lower Thurlton. 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
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your photos
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Related advice
Common problems we fix in Lower Thurlton
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, 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.
