About our bath repair in Litton Cheney

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, 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.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we’re called out for in Litton Cheney

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Litton Cheney. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about bath repair in Litton Cheney

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Litton Cheney?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Litton Cheney as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
