Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Bath repair at your home in East Lexham
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and rust spots around the plughole, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

Related advice
What we’re called out for in East Lexham
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in East Lexham
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PE32 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
East Lexham questions
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
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.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Lexham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
