Bath repair in Chideock without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused by builders and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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 day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
FAQs for Chideock
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Signs you need bath repair in Chideock
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
For anyone letting property in or around Chideock, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
