Bath repair in Dunball

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from Dunball

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Dunball. Prices do not change with location.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Repair or replace in Dunball?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  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 next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
