Questions from Higher Wincombe
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Dorset.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Do you need bath repair in Higher Wincombe?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
