Bath repair for Dunley homes

Bath repair at your home in Dunley

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s impact holes in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, we can usually put it right, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should you replace it?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Worcestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Different materials, different repairs

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 what we repair.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Do you need bath repair in Dunley?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, 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.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips caused by builders

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about bath repair in Dunley

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Are there extra charges for Dunley?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

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

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
