Bath repair near Dunning

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Bath repair at your home in Dunning

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a kit repair that didn’t last and chips under the taps.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Dunning. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What we are called out for in Dunning

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A chip where the taps sit

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Do you work in Dunning?

We do. We send a technician to Dunning for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will I be able to see the repair?

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

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
