Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Bath repair at your home in East Lulworth

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. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

East Lulworth questions

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Will there be a smell?

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

Are there extra charges for East Lulworth?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does the repair take to cure?

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

When to call us in East Lulworth

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips on the rim or sides

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to East Lulworth. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in East Lulworth, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
