Your questions about bath repair in St Olaves
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?
Across the UK, so St Olaves is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How we handle bath repair in St Olaves
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and rusty patches near the plughole, we can generally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in St Olaves
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for St Olaves. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for St Olaves. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in St Olaves and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
