What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What we’re called out for in Fishpond Bottom
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Your questions about bath repair in Fishpond Bottom
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How much does bath repair cost in Fishpond Bottom?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
