Bath repair for Osmington homes

Questions from Osmington

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Do you cover Osmington?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Osmington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairing versus replacing in Osmington

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Osmington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Osmington

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
