Bath repair at your home in BH23

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and damage beneath the taps, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

There’s 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 a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  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. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

What you will pay

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Near you in Christchurch

We visit homes around High Cross, Somerford Primary School and The Grange School, among other places. Also close by are The Rising Sun Public House (0.5 miles south-west) and The Grange School (within half a mile south-west). The nearest railway station is Christchurch station, about 1.4 miles west. Other landmarks nearby include Christchurch Castle (1.1 miles south-west) and Red House Museum and Gardens (1.2 miles south-west). The countryside around Christchurch includes St Catherine's Hill.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Signs you need bath repair

Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Holes from dropped items

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

BH23 questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, 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.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your BH23 postcode.
