Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Congham

Do you work in Congham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Congham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

Do you need bath repair in Congham?

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

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

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Congham, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
