About our bath repair in Langton Matravers
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. We’re often asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips on the rim or sides, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairing versus replacing in Langton Matravers
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Langton Matravers. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Do you need bath repair in Langton Matravers?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
