Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When to call us in Starston
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Common reasons people in Starston contact us include:
- Holes from dropped items
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlord and trade work in Starston
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common questions in Starston
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How much does bath repair cost in Starston?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
