Trusted bath repair in Little Stonham

Bath repair at your home in Little Stonham

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust spots around the plughole, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Little Stonham questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  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 next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Little Stonham

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Little Stonham. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Little Stonham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.

Do you need bath repair in Little Stonham?

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
