Bath repair near Little Dunham

What we’re called out for in Little Dunham

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Choosing a repair company

Bath repair in Little Dunham without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and deep scratches in acrylic.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Little Dunham and across Norfolk.

Little Dunham questions

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are there extra charges for Little Dunham?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repair or replace in Little Dunham?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Little Dunham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
