About our bath repair in Dodford
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace in Dodford?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
When to call us in Dodford
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Questions from Dodford
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How much does bath repair cost in Dodford?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
