Bath repair in Bransgore

Bath repair in Bransgore, done in place

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and holes from dropped items.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bransgore and across Dorset.

What affects the price in Bransgore

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your bath is made of matters

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 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 we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Repair or replace in Bransgore?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Bransgore, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When to call us in Bransgore

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Damage beneath the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • How to look after the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
