About our bath repair in Santon Downham
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for cracks in an acrylic bath and holes from dropped items, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What else we do in Santon Downham
Santon Downham questions
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Santon Downham?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
