Bath repair in Blackwater, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chipped rim or side.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Blackwater questions
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
Across the UK, and that includes Blackwater. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BH23 postcode.
When to call us in Blackwater
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 usually the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
