When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, 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 what we repair.

What affects the price in Rodbridge Corner

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Rodbridge Corner. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Rodbridge Corner, pictures 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.

Rodbridge Corner questions

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you come to Rodbridge Corner?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Rodbridge Corner. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Landlord and trade work in Rodbridge Corner

For anyone letting property in or around Rodbridge Corner, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
