- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we handle bath repair in Workhouse Common
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. If you’re dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips caused by builders, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Workhouse Common: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Will the repair show?
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.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Repairing versus replacing in Workhouse Common

You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Workhouse Common
If you manage property in Workhouse Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
