Signs you need bath repair in Taverham
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, 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.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Bath repair in Taverham without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and a kit repair that didn’t last.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Repair or replace in Taverham?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Taverham: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you come to Taverham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Taverham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How invisible is a bath repair?
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.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Taverham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
