Aftercare tips

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

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How we handle bath repair in Lillies Green

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips on the rim or sides.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lillies Green and across Dorset.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Lillies Green

A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.

Common reasons people in Lillies Green contact us are:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lillies Green

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What bath repair costs

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

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