Bath repair in Rampisham

Common problems we fix in Rampisham

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

About our bath repair in Rampisham

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a hole punched through by something heavy and snagging damage from a refit.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise 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.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Questions from Rampisham

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you cover Rampisham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Rampisham and the rest of Dorset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

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

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
