Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- No extra charge for your area
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We leave the room as we found it

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Norman's Green. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
FAQs for Norman's Green
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work in Norman's Green?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Norman's Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Common problems we fix in Norman's Green
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
