Bath repair near Frome Vauchurch

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Frome Vauchurch, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

About our bath repair in Frome Vauchurch

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Frome Vauchurch as everywhere else we work.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Frome Vauchurch, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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 is the part we put right.

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When to call us in Frome Vauchurch

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day

Questions from Frome Vauchurch

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.

Do you cover Frome Vauchurch?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Frome Vauchurch. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
