About our bath repair in Higher Kingcombe
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Higher Kingcombe and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What affects the price in Higher Kingcombe
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Higher Kingcombe. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Higher Kingcombe: your questions answered
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
We work UK-wide, so Higher Kingcombe is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Higher Kingcombe

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.
Places near Higher Kingcombe
What else we do in Higher Kingcombe
What we’re called out for in Higher Kingcombe
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
- What prep work is covered
Should you replace it?
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. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
