Bath repair in Dyke

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Common questions in Dyke

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do you cover Dyke?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Dyke from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Repairing versus replacing in Dyke

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start 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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

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