What affects the price in Lach Dennis

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Lach Dennis, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Bath repair in Lach Dennis without replacing anything

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chipped rim or side.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Landlord and trade work in Lach Dennis

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Lach Dennis, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
