Bath repair in Rockland St Peter, done in place

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about deep scratches in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Rockland St Peter

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips under the taps

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Rockland St Peter. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Rockland St Peter: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Rockland St Peter is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What about rust by the waste?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you work in Rockland St Peter?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Rockland St Peter and the rest of Norfolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  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. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rockland St Peter

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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, a professional repair is worth it.
