Questions from Lower Bockhampton
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Lower Bockhampton and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Lower Bockhampton.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Bockhampton. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Lower Bockhampton

- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
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 what we repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Lower Bockhampton
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
