Bath repair near Larling

Bath repair at your home in Larling

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Repair or replace in Larling?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Larling. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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

FAQs for Larling

Do you cover Larling?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Larling from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
