Bath repair at your home in Higher Row
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and damage beneath the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Higher Row and across Dorset.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When to call us in Higher Row
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips under the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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.
FAQs for Higher Row
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Higher Row?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you cover Higher Row?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Higher Row and the rest of Dorset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What affects the price in Higher Row
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures 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
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BH21 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Nearby places to Higher Row
What else we do in Higher Row
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
