How we handle bath repair in Ameysford
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we’re called out for in Ameysford
Rust typically 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.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

- How your room will be protected

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

What affects the price in Ameysford
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Ameysford and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Ameysford
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What areas do you cover?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
