Bath repair in Blackdown, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We are often asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Blackdown, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When to call us in Blackdown
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips caused by builders
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole

Blackdown: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Blackdown and the rest of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Blackdown, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
