How we handle bath repair in Dallow

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Signs you need bath repair in Dallow

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dallow

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

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, 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. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What affects the price in Dallow

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A steel bath rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Your questions about bath repair in Dallow

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

How much does bath repair cost in Dallow?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LU1 postcode.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
