Bath chip & crack repair in Birdbush, Dorset
We travel to Birdbush for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit
How we handle bath repair in Birdbush
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips along the edge of the bath, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What else we do in Birdbush
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
