Bath repair near Iwerne Minster

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  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

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Bath repair at your home in Iwerne Minster

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and impact holes in acrylic, we can generally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Iwerne Minster

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Common reasons people in Iwerne Minster contact us are:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Iwerne Minster

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

Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t 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.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Landlord and trade work in Iwerne Minster

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

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

Iwerne Minster: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

How soon can you come?

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

When can I have a bath again?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How invisible is a bath repair?

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

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

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, and you will get a fixed figure back.
