About our bath repair in North Earlham

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, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in North Earlham and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

North Earlham: your questions answered

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you come to North Earlham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to North Earlham and the rest of Norfolk. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Norfolk.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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