What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
How we handle bath repair in Stratton Strawless
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and a cracked acrylic bath.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Work for landlords and builders

Do you need bath repair in Stratton Strawless?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items

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.

Common questions in Stratton Strawless
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?
We cover the whole UK, including Stratton Strawless and the rest of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
