How we handle bath repair in Dullingham

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We’re often asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Dullingham

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Do you need bath repair in Dullingham?

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips caused by builders

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

How we price bath repair

Prices start 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
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
