FAQs for Little Woolgarston

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

How much does bath repair cost in Little Woolgarston?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you cover the whole of Dorset?

All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

About our bath repair in Little Woolgarston

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are scuffs and scratches in the surface and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures 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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Little Woolgarston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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.

When to call us in Little Woolgarston

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Look out for these signs:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Little Woolgarston

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

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.
