Bath repair at your home in St Cross South Elmham
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. Most baths can be used again the following day. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colour-matched on site

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Materials we work on in St Cross South Elmham
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
St Cross South Elmham questions
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover St Cross South Elmham?
We do. We send a technician to St Cross South Elmham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your IP20 postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Common problems we fix in St Cross South Elmham
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy

What else we do in St Cross South Elmham
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
