Bath repair at your home in Shotesham
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Signs you need bath repair in Shotesham
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.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What affects the price in Shotesham
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Shotesham. The price reflects:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Shotesham: your questions answered
How much does bath repair cost in Shotesham?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Shotesham and the rest of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What else we do in Shotesham
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
