Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Norrington Common. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How we handle bath repair in Norrington Common
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We are often asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and a chipped rim or side, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we are called out for in Norrington Common
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
