Bath repair at your home in NR23
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and holes from dropped items, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Near you in Wells-next-the-Sea
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Holkham Library, Wells-Next-the-Sea Primary and Nursery School and The Edinburgh Inn. Other landmarks nearby include Bygones at Holkham Park (2 miles west). Not far away are The Bink and Holkham National Nature Reserve.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in NR23 use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
NR23: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
