Bath repair in Norton without replacing anything
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Whether it’s chips under the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Norton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

When to call us in Norton
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- 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, usually the day after.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Norton: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?
Everywhere in the UK, Norton included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Sussex.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
