- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Dowlish Ford questions
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Dowlish Ford. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Dowlish Ford, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace in Dowlish Ford?

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Dowlish Ford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
