Bath repair at your home in North Burlingham
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are rust by the waste and overflow and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Every job is backed for twelve months in North Burlingham and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

North Burlingham questions
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including North Burlingham and the rest of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to North Burlingham. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in North Burlingham, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in North Burlingham
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for North Burlingham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

- One price list for the entire UK

When to call us in North Burlingham
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage beneath the taps
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
