10 questions to ask before booking

Bath repair in Wimborne St Giles, done in place

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We’re often asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a hole punched through by something heavy, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Wimborne St Giles. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  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. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BH21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Repairing versus replacing in Wimborne St Giles

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wimborne St Giles. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

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

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Wimborne St Giles?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

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