Bath repair in Dittisham, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chips caused by builders and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dittisham. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise 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.

Dittisham: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover Dittisham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Dittisham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price

Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dittisham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Same prices wherever you are
Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
