Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Signs you need bath repair in Toller Porcorum

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

See our full price list or bath cost comparison.

What affects the price in Toller Porcorum

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Toller Porcorum

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  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 next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
