Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

About our bath repair in Dersingham

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can typically put it right.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Dersingham and across Norfolk.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What we are called out for in Dersingham

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
