How we handle bath repair in Dodington

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about chips along the edge of the bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in Dodington

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How much does bath repair cost in Dodington?

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

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Dodington

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

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Dodington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise 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

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
