Bath repair at your home in Lane End
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We’re frequently asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and a cracked acrylic bath, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BH20 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Lane End?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole 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: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One visit for most repairs
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Your questions about bath repair in Lane End
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Lane End. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lane End
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
If you manage property in Lane End, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. 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. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
When to call us in Lane End
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
