How we handle bath repair in Norwell
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a cracked acrylic bath, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Norwell
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. 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 pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through

Common questions in Norwell
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you cover Norwell?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Norwell and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, 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.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Signs you need bath repair in Norwell
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
