Bath repair for Lyngate homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site

Bath repair in Lyngate without replacing anything

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Questions from Lyngate

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Lyngate?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

What we are called out for in Lyngate

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
