Common questions in Nedging Tye

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

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

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

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

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

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

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Nedging Tye

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Impact holes in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
