Bath repair in Ovington, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about rust spots around the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP25 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Ovington: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?
Everywhere in the UK, Ovington included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Are there extra charges for Ovington?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Do you need bath repair in Ovington?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
