Your questions about bath repair in Dunstable
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Dunstable and the rest of Central Bedfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Dunstable and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often 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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunstable use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Dunstable
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Dunstable, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
