Bath repair in Dorstone without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Dorstone, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Dorstone, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically 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.

- One visit for most repairs
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What we’re called out for in Dorstone
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders

FAQs for Dorstone
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What areas do you cover?
All of Herefordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
