Do you need bath repair in Norham?

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

10 questions to ask before you book

Bath repair in Norham without replacing anything

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips along the edge of the bath and chips under the taps.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Norham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Norham: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

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.

When can I have a bath again?

Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Are there extra charges for Norham?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How much does bath repair cost in Norham?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
