Fixed-price bath repair in Dogslacks and the surrounding area, generally in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Bath repair at your home in Dogslacks
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Dogslacks questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you cover Dogslacks?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Dogslacks. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes 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. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Signs you need bath repair in Dogslacks
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items
