Bath repair at your home in Norton
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
What affects the price in Norton
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Norton. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in Norton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

FAQs for Norton
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you cover Norton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Norton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Common problems we fix in Norton
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Landlord and trade work in Norton
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
