Bath repair at your home in Little Ansty
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and a cracked acrylic bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Little Ansty questions
Will I be able to see the repair?
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.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
We cover the whole UK, including Little Ansty and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Little Ansty
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Do you need bath repair in Little Ansty?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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 is the part we put right.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Little Ansty. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
