About our bath repair in Burnham Thorpe

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s chips under the taps and a chipped rim or side, we can help.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Burnham Thorpe

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A steel bath rusted through

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Advice

Burnham Thorpe questions

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Burnham Thorpe and the rest of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Burnham Thorpe?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Will the repair last?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
