Bath repair in Fritton

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

About our bath repair in Fritton

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, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and damage beneath the taps.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Fritton

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you cover Fritton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Fritton and the rest of Norfolk. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

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

Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?

The whole UK, including all of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NR31 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Fritton. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Fritton

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fritton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace in Fritton?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
