Bath repair for Shouldham homes

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Bath repair in Shouldham without replacing anything

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. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and chips under the taps.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shouldham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Questions from Shouldham

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How much does bath repair cost in Shouldham?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PE33 postcode.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Common problems we fix in Shouldham

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage beneath the taps

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

  • Roll-top & freestanding

Repair or replace in Shouldham?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Shouldham clients choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
