How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Great Dunham. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
About our bath repair in Great Dunham
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and rust by the waste and overflow.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common questions in Great Dunham
How much does bath repair cost in Great Dunham?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

What else we do in Great Dunham
What we’re called out for in Great Dunham
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
