Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
How we handle bath repair in Saxthorpe
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are cracks in an acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we are called out for in Saxthorpe
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
If you manage property in Saxthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Saxthorpe questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?
The entire UK, including all of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
