Bath repair in Dorrington without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are holes from dropped items and deep scratches in acrylic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Questions from Dorrington
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Dorrington?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What else we do in Dorrington
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Common problems we fix in Dorrington
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips caused by builders

- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Dorrington
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Dorrington
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No extra charge for your area
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
