About our bath repair in Dumplington

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips under the taps and chips caused by builders.

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

Dumplington questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Dumplington is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you need bath repair in Dumplington?

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.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chip where the taps sit

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get 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 you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Dumplington

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Dumplington

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
