Landlord and trade work in Dedham
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Bath repair in Dedham without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and impact holes in acrylic, we can typically put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Dedham questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Do you need bath repair in Dedham?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What affects the price in Dedham
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dedham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
