How we handle bath repair in Fifehead Neville
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and deep scratches in acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Fifehead Neville
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DT10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic

Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No extra charge for your area
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Nothing taken out or refitted
