Bath repair at your home in Dolton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We’re frequently asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Repairing versus replacing in Dolton
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 the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Signs you need bath repair in Dolton
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
