Repairing versus replacing in Little Blakenham
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why Little Blakenham customers choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Bath repair at your home in Little Blakenham
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about snagging damage from a refit and rust by the waste and overflow.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can

What affects the price in Little Blakenham
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Little Blakenham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Your questions about bath repair in Little Blakenham
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in Little Blakenham?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Little Blakenham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
