Bath repair at your home in South Acre
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. We are frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
When to call us in South Acre
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for South Acre. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PE32 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
FAQs for South Acre
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
How do I get a price for bath repair in South Acre?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?
Everywhere in the UK, South Acre included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Acre as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repair or replace in South Acre?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, 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.
