How bath repair works in BH21

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and chips on the rim or sides, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

What you will pay

Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Near you in Wimborne Minster

Our customers here include homes close to Queen Elizabeth's School, St John's Church and The Rising Sun pub. You will also find St John's Church of England First School (within half a mile south-west) and Dumpton School (0.7 miles north). Well-known places in the area include Stapehill Abbey (2.1 miles east) and Alderney Hospital (3.9 miles south). Not far away are Stoney Down.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in BH21 and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Repair or replace?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered

Common problems we fix in BH21

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
