Your questions about bath repair in Dockenfield
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your GU10 postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- 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, typically the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Do you need bath repair in Dockenfield?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
