Bath repair in North Elmham without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in North Elmham
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you come to North Elmham?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to North Elmham and the rest of Norfolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in North Elmham
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Can I fix it myself?
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 won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in North Elmham
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
