About our bath repair in Tivetshall St Mary

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are impact holes in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Tivetshall St Mary and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Tivetshall St Mary, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

When to call us in Tivetshall St Mary

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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