Bath repair in Benville, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What we’re called out for in Benville
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How it works

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Your questions about bath repair in Benville
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
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.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you work in Benville?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Benville and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
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.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
