What else we do in Cranborne
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Do you need bath repair in Cranborne?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. 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, including clearing up.
- 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Cranborne, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Cranborne questions
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
