Bath chip & crack repair in Christchurch, Newport
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Christchurch, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Bath repair in Christchurch without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rusty patches near the plughole, we can usually put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Christchurch. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Christchurch
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Newport and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Do you need bath repair in Christchurch?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Customers generally contact us about:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include

- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
Questions from Christchurch
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Newport. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting 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 entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
