How bath repair works in NR8
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and rusty patches near the plughole, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
What it costs in NR8

How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Near you in Taverham
Our clients here include homes close to The Otter pub, Taverham Hall School and Parish Church of St Edmund, among other places. You will also find Nightingale Infant & Nursery School (within half a mile west) and Taverham High School (0.7 miles west). A little further out are Hellesdon Hospital (2.6 miles south-east) and Costessey Hall (1.9 miles south). For a walk, there is Wensum Local Nature Reserve.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
FAQs for NR8
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you come to NR8?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to NR8 and the rest of Norfolk. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Are there extra charges for NR8?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
