When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How we handle bath repair in Dothill
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can generally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Dothill: your questions answered
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How much does bath repair cost in Dothill?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TF1 postcode.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dothill. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dothill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Dothill, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What we are called out for in Dothill
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 steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
