Questions from Abbotsbury
How do I get a price for bath repair in Abbotsbury?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you come to Abbotsbury?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Abbotsbury and the rest of Dorset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

More services for Abbotsbury
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abbotsbury as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
