How we handle bath repair in Child Okeford
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a hole punched through by something heavy.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Child Okeford
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Child Okeford: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Do you come to Child Okeford?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Child Okeford. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Will the repair show?
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.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Child Okeford. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
