Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Common problems we fix in Bournemouth

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Bournemouth. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Bournemouth, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bournemouth and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bournemouth use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Bournemouth

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How much does bath repair cost in Bournemouth?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your BH9 postcode.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally within a day, depending on the repair.

Should you replace it?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
