About our bath repair in South Perrott

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and rust by the waste and overflow, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Do you need bath repair in South Perrott?

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

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 you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for South Perrott. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK

What affects the price in South Perrott

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to South Perrott. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in South Perrott

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
