Bath repair at your home in Framingham Earl

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust by the waste and overflow.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Framingham Earl and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we’re called out for in Framingham Earl

A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Framingham Earl, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Your questions about bath repair in Framingham Earl

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

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.

When can I have a bath again?

Usually the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Framingham Earl. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

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 will come back with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Repairing versus replacing in Framingham Earl

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Framingham Earl. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Work done at your home or business

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we cannot put right

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

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
