How we handle bath repair in Durweston

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

What we’re called out for in Durweston

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Durweston

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Durweston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us pictures 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.

Durweston: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

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.

Do you come to Durweston?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Durweston from across the region, 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 make sure the landlord agrees.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

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 is the part we put right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips.

  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. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse it down after each bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What bath repair costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
