Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

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

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Dunsley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Do you need bath repair in Dunsley?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips under the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Your questions about bath repair in Dunsley

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What affects the price in Dunsley

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Dunsley. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
