Bath Repair in Norcot
Our repair technicians come to Norcot for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
Bath repair in Norcot, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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 day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Questions from Norcot
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Norcot and the rest of Reading. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Landlord and trade work in Norcot
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Norcot use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Norcot, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Do you need bath repair in Norcot?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 pictures.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repairing versus replacing in Norcot
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
