Common questions in Bunwell Hill

What happens if you find more damage?

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

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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.

Bath repair at your home in Bunwell Hill

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bunwell Hill and across Norfolk.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Bunwell Hill

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Bunwell Hill

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
