How we handle bath repair in Colesbrook
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We are frequently asked to fix holes from dropped items and a cracked acrylic bath, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Colesbrook. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When to call us in Colesbrook
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

- Holes from dropped items

FAQs for Colesbrook
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.
What areas do you cover?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What else we do in Colesbrook
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
