Bath repair in Luccombe without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the next day. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and deep scratches in acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Luccombe

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you are in Luccombe and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Your questions about bath repair in Luccombe

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally within a day, depending on the repair.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How much does bath repair cost in Luccombe?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TA24 postcode.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Luccombe

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

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’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
