How we handle bath repair in Sea Palling
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about rust by the waste and overflow and a chip where the taps sit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Questions from Sea Palling
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Sea Palling, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Signs you need bath repair in Sea Palling
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How to care for the finish
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What else we do in Sea Palling
Repair or replace in Sea Palling?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Sea Palling. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
