Bath repair in Dimple without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Most clients in Dimple get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Materials we work on in Dimple
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

FAQs for Dimple
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you cover the whole of Bolton?
The entire UK, including all of Bolton. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Dimple. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
