Questions from West Barsham
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you work in West Barsham?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to West Barsham and the rest of Norfolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Bath repair in West Barsham without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in West Barsham and across Norfolk.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When to call us in West Barsham
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What else we do in West Barsham
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
