What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairing versus replacing in Dimmer
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What we are called out for in Dimmer
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.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to care for the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
Repairs by material
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 is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Questions from Dimmer
How much does bath repair cost in Dimmer?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Landlord and trade work in Dimmer
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
