About our bath repair in Norham Manor
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for cracks in an acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Norham Manor. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Signs you need bath repair in Norham Manor
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Questions from Norham Manor
Do you come to Norham Manor?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Norham Manor from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Norham Manor and the rest of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
