Bath repair in Burton Bradstock, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and cracks in an acrylic bath, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Landlord and trade work in Burton Bradstock
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Burton Bradstock: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When to call us in Burton Bradstock
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
