Bath repair near Paradise

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we handle bath repair in Paradise

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the following day. If you are dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and damage beneath the taps, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Paradise and across Norfolk.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

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

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Signs you need bath repair in Paradise

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Paradise, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Paradise: your questions answered

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Do you work in Paradise?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Paradise. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos 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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
