Bath repair for Saxtead homes

Bath repair in Saxtead, done in place

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and a kit repair that didn’t last, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Saxtead and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Saxtead

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Saxtead. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Do you need bath repair in Saxtead?

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Saxtead questions

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What about rust by the waste?

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

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
