Bath repair at your home in Ashwicken

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We’re often asked to fix chips caused by builders and holes from dropped items, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ashwicken and across Norfolk.

Questions from Ashwicken

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

What affects the price in Ashwicken

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

We don’t 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.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
