Bath repair in Martham, done in place

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

What affects the price in Martham

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Martham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Martham: your questions answered

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

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, 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. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Landlord and trade work in Martham

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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 the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Repairing versus replacing in Martham

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
