Bath repair in Bradenham without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped rim or side and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

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.

Your questions about bath repair in Bradenham

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you come to Bradenham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bradenham and the rest of Norfolk. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

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

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel

Landlord and trade work in Bradenham

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bradenham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in Bradenham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
