Bath repair in Herston, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Repairing versus replacing in Herston
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Your questions about bath repair in Herston
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Do you cover Herston?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Herston and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Common problems we fix in Herston
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Common reasons people in Herston contact us include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Herston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What else we do in Herston
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Landlords, agents and businesses in Herston
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
