Bath repair near Stalbridge

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stalbridge. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs

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

Bath repair in Stalbridge without replacing anything

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 fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and holes from dropped items, we can help.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Should you replace it?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Common problems we fix in Stalbridge

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chip where the taps sit

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
