Common questions in Purewell

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Will I be able to see the repair?

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

Are there extra charges for Purewell?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Purewell?

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Do you need bath repair in Purewell?

A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips under the taps
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Repairing versus replacing in Purewell

What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Purewell. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Composite and resin

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