Bath chip & crack repair in Scottow, Norfolk
We travel to Scottow for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How we handle bath repair in Scottow
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and damage beneath the taps, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Scottow
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Scottow. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Do you need bath repair in Scottow?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
