Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Belchford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Bath repair in Belchford without replacing anything

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Belchford and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix 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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Repairing versus replacing in Belchford

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Common questions in Belchford

Are there extra charges for Belchford?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Belchford?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
