Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

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 early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Questions from Eype Mouth

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

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.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you come to Eype Mouth?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Eype Mouth and the rest of Dorset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Eype Mouth

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eype Mouth as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When to call us in Eype Mouth

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
