Bath repair for Minterne Magna homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we handle bath repair in Minterne Magna

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and rusty patches near the plughole, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Minterne Magna and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common problems we fix in Minterne Magna

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean 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. 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

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Common questions in Minterne Magna

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover the whole of Dorset?

We cover the whole UK, including Minterne Magna and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Minterne Magna as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Minterne Magna, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Minterne Magna

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Minterne Magna. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

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