Signs you need bath repair in Dunbury

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

How we handle bath repair in Dunbury

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are holes from dropped items and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dunbury

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Dunbury questions

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Do you work in Dunbury?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Dunbury and the rest of Dorset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Dunbury.

What affects the price in Dunbury

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Dunbury. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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, and you will get a fixed figure back.
