Bath repair in West Somerton without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with damage beneath the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can normally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Common questions in West Somerton
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I get a price for bath repair in West Somerton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including West Somerton and the rest of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for West Somerton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in West Somerton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- 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, typically the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Do you need bath repair in West Somerton?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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, which makes it well worth repairing.
Landlords, agents and businesses in West Somerton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
