About our bath repair in Broad Oak
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Broad Oak and across Dorset.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Broad Oak and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Broad Oak: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Broad Oak?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
