What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
About our bath repair in Edmondsham
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Edmondsham
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BH21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Do you need bath repair in Edmondsham?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work

FAQs for Edmondsham
How do I get a price for bath repair in Edmondsham?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Dorset.
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. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
For a price in Edmondsham, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Repairing versus replacing in Edmondsham
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
