How bath repair works in Bournemouth
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chips under the taps and impact holes in acrylic.
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
What we are called out for in Bournemouth
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Bournemouth: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bournemouth.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you cover Bournemouth?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Bournemouth. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
