Bath repair in Saxlingham without replacing anything

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about rusty patches near the plughole and a chipped rim or side.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Saxlingham and across Norfolk.

Landlord and trade work in Saxlingham

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Signs you need bath repair in Saxlingham

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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips under the taps

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Saxlingham, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
