Choosing a repair company

Bath repair in Bradwell without replacing anything

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips caused by builders, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

FAQs for Bradwell

Which areas do you work in?

All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you come to Bradwell?

We do. Technicians travel to Bradwell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  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. 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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath

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

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bradwell. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
