Fordcombe questions
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Bath repair in Fordcombe without replacing anything
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We’re often asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and chips on the rim or sides, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

When to call us in Fordcombe
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What else we do in Fordcombe
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Fordcombe
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Fordcombe get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
