Bath chip & crack repair in Walcott, Norfolk
Local bath repair for Walcott: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Bath repair in Walcott without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and a hole punched through by something heavy, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What affects the price in Walcott
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Walcott, 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, 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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic

Common questions in Walcott
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you cover Walcott?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Walcott from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
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.
How do I book?

What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
