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

Landlord and trade work in Hockwold cum Wilton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hockwold cum Wilton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hockwold cum Wilton: your questions answered
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Are there extra charges for Hockwold cum Wilton?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you need bath repair in Hockwold cum Wilton?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is 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 will reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Hockwold cum Wilton?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Get a quote
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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
