About our bath repair in Nottington

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and chips along the edge of the bath.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Nottington and across Dorset.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Nottington

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Common problems we fix in Nottington

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Nottington

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace in Nottington?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Nottington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Questions from Nottington

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Nottington and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you cover Nottington?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Nottington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A steel bath rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
