What we’re called out for in Normanby
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Normanby: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Are there extra charges for Normanby?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover the entire of North Lincolnshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Normanby included. Travel is included in the price.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
