Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Bath repair in Dinder, done in place

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and a chip where the taps sit, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Dinder. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Get a quote

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
