About our bath repair in Doseley
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips under the taps, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common problems we fix in Doseley
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
FAQs for Doseley
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
