Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Briggate as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Bath repair in Briggate without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the next day. We’re often asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Repairing versus replacing in Briggate
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Briggate
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need bath repair in Briggate?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rusty patches near the plughole

FAQs for Briggate

Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
