Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Thetford, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95

How we handle bath repair in Thetford
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are scuffs and scratches in the surface and cracks in an acrylic bath.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What we are called out for in Thetford
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Common questions in Thetford
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.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Thetford?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Thetford. Prices do not change with location.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:

- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Thetford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Thetford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
