Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Bath repair at your home in Bridport
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bridport, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Common problems we fix in Bridport
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Your questions about bath repair in Bridport
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bridport.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What areas do you cover?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
