Bath repair in Fontmell Magna, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Fontmell Magna. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
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.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Landlord and trade work in Fontmell Magna
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Repair or replace in Fontmell Magna?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour-matched on site
- One price list for the whole UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
