Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

About our bath repair in Canford Heath
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about bath repair in Canford Heath
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When to call us in Canford Heath
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to look after the finish
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
