For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Bloodman's Corner, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Signs you need bath repair in Bloodman's Corner

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repair or replace in Bloodman's Corner?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Questions from Bloodman's Corner

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
