About our bath repair in North Lopham

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 scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chipped rim or side, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in North Lopham

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for North Lopham. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

FAQs for North Lopham

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Lopham

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Lopham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry

Why repair rather than replace?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for North Lopham.

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
