How we handle bath repair in Doddington
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We’re often asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips caused by builders, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we’re called out for in Doddington
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What to look for in a quote

What affects the price in Doddington
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Doddington. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
