Bath repair for Mosterton homes

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Why repair rather than replace?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Mosterton

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Mosterton. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Mosterton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DT8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. 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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

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.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Mosterton: your questions answered

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

Across the UK, and that includes Mosterton. Prices do not change with location.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Mosterton

Do you need bath repair in Mosterton?

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips under the taps
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
