Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
About our bath repair in Norr
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We are often asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Common problems we fix in Norr
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched

FAQs for Norr
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
