Bath repair in Cawston 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 and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Cawston

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you cover Cawston?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cawston and the rest of Norfolk. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What we’re called out for in Cawston

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Chips under the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Cawston

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour-matched on site

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

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

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NR10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
