Bath repair in East Tuddenham

Bath repair at your home in East Tuddenham

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage beneath the taps.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Honest limits

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

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in East Tuddenham

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

East Tuddenham questions

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What do you need from me?

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

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to East Tuddenham. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for East Tuddenham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in East Tuddenham, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

When to call us in East Tuddenham

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Common reasons people in East Tuddenham contact us include:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Tuddenham

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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.
