Need bath repair in Dunipace?

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

About our bath repair in Dunipace

Bath repair is our most common job. 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. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Same prices wherever you are

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  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

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

FAQs for Dunipace

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Is there any odour?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

When can I have a bath again?

Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Will the repair last?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunipace as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
