Bath repair at your home in East Rudham

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s chips under the taps and a chipped rim or side, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What affects the price in East Rudham

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you are in East Rudham and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

East Rudham: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

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

Signs you need bath repair in East Rudham

A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
