You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in St Margaret South Elmham as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in St Margaret South Elmham
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Common reasons people in St Margaret South Elmham contact us are:
- A chipped rim or side
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last

FAQs for St Margaret South Elmham
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How much does bath repair cost in St Margaret South Elmham?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover St Margaret South Elmham?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to St Margaret South Elmham and the rest of Norfolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP20 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why St Margaret South Elmham customers choose us
- Everything repaired in place
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
