Bath repair in Mattishall, done in place

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the next day. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips under the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Mattishall. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Mattishall. 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:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Do you need bath repair in Mattishall?

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

How to compare quotes

Your questions about bath repair in Mattishall

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Are there extra charges for Mattishall?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
