Bath repair in Trowse Newton, done in place

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

Questions from Trowse Newton

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How long before I can use the bath?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you come to Trowse Newton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Trowse Newton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Trowse Newton is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Trowse Newton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Trowse Newton clients choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Trowse Newton, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trowse Newton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

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

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Have new chips seen to early

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
