About our bath repair in Durrington

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips under the taps, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Durrington

Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Durrington

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Durrington

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Durrington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

FAQs for Durrington

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you come to Durrington?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Durrington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

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

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Durrington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Durrington and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
