Bath repair at your home in Dedridge
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or sides and impact holes in acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.

What affects the price in Dedridge
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dedridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repairing versus replacing in Dedridge
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colour-matched on site

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dedridge as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we’re called out for in Dedridge
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Dedridge questions
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
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.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
