How we handle bath repair in South Burlingham

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with rust spots around the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A steel bath rusted through

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Burlingham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace in South Burlingham?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Your questions about bath repair in South Burlingham

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you come to South Burlingham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to South Burlingham. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Common problems we fix in South Burlingham

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NR13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

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’s what we repair.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
