Bath repair in Dundon Hayes

Repairing versus replacing in Dundon Hayes

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

About our bath repair in Dundon Hayes

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: 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. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and chips on the rim or sides, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Dundon Hayes

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, 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.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Dundon Hayes and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. 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.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What we are called out for in Dundon Hayes

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dundon Hayes. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Dundon Hayes, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
