Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour-matched on site
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Bath repair in Dowsdale, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and a chip where the taps sit, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dowsdale
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Dowsdale
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Are there extra charges for Dowsdale?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Signs you need bath repair in Dowsdale
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
