Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Great Bircham clients choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

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.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Great Bircham

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Holes from dropped items

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath repair in Great Bircham

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Great Bircham and the rest of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Great Bircham

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t 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 a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
