Bath repair at your home in Dymock

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a chip where the taps sit and holes from dropped items.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Dymock and across Gloucestershire.

Repair or replace in Dymock?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Common questions in Dymock

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

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.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

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

If you manage property in Dymock, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

What affects the price in Dymock

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Do you need bath repair in Dymock?

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
