Bath repair in Dormans Park

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

About our bath repair in Dormans Park

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust by the waste and overflow.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we’re called out for in Dormans Park

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rust spots around the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Dormans Park

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Is a repair better than a new one?
