Bath repair for Dorney homes

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

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

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

How we handle bath repair in Dorney

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, removing 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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

When to call us in Dorney

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Dorney. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repairs by material

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.

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 is what we repair.

Dorney: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
