Bath and surface repairs in BH31

About bath repair in BH31

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a kit repair that didn’t last and deep scratches in acrylic.

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Around Verwood

Around Verwood, we work in homes near The Swans pub, Emmanuel Middle Church of England Middle School and Hillside Community First School and the streets around them. Further afield, we also cover the area around St Leonard's Hospital (4.1 miles south) and Cranborne Castle Hill (3.2 miles north-west). The countryside around Verwood includes Blashford Lakes and Linbrook Lake.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

• Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
• Give the bath a quick rinse after use
• Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
• Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What affects the price in BH31

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

• Doing more than one item at once
• What kind of damage it is
• How easy the damage is to reach
• The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for BH31. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

• Natural light rather than flash
