About our bath repair in Johnson Street

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and a kit repair that didn’t last, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

FAQs for Johnson Street

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?

All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

How much does bath repair cost in Johnson Street?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NR29 postcode.

Do you need bath repair in Johnson Street?

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Johnson Street, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What affects the price in Johnson Street

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Johnson Street and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
