- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
When to call us in Fifehead St Quintin
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
Bath repair in Fifehead St Quintin, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in Fifehead St Quintin
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour mixed on the day to match

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Fifehead St Quintin: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you cover Fifehead St Quintin?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Fifehead St Quintin and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Fifehead St Quintin get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
