Advice
About our bath repair in Puddledock
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and rust spots around the plughole.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Puddledock
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Puddledock
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Your questions about bath repair in Puddledock
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are there extra charges for Puddledock?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
