Bath repair in Corfe Mullen, done in place

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chipped rim or side, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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’s the part we put right.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Corfe Mullen use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Corfe Mullen questions

Do I have to be there?

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

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will there be a smell?

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Corfe Mullen

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

For a price in Corfe Mullen, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
