Bath repair in Bryanston, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with snagging damage from a refit and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Common problems we fix in Bryanston
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
What your bath is made of matters
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.
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 what we repair.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Your questions about bath repair in Bryanston
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How much does bath repair cost in Bryanston?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your DT11 postcode.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Most clients in Bryanston get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Repairing versus replacing in Bryanston
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bryanston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
