How we handle bath repair in North Green

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and a kit repair that didn’t last.

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

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

North Green questions

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Which areas do you work in?

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

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

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

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Repairing versus replacing in North Green

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in North Green

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips under the taps
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
