Bath repair at your home in Norton in Hales
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
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 what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Questions from Norton in Hales
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we’re called out for in Norton in Hales
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
Before booking anyone
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
