What affects the price in Jumpers Common

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Jumpers Common, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How we handle bath repair in Jumpers Common

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We’re often asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and a chipped rim or side, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Jumpers Common

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need bath repair in Jumpers Common?

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

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.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Landlord and trade work in Jumpers Common

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
