Bath repair near Dartmouth Park

Bath repair at your home in Dartmouth Park

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Signs you need bath repair in Dartmouth Park

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Our hiring checklist

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

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’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dartmouth Park

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
