How we handle bath repair in Dry Doddington

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and a cracked acrylic bath, we can typically put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dry Doddington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Signs you need bath repair in Dry Doddington

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

How to compare quotes

Questions from Dry Doddington

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover the entire of Nottinghamshire?

The whole UK, including all of Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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.

What affects the price in Dry Doddington

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get 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 price, not a guess.
