When to call us in Lower Dimson
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps

Bath repair in Lower Dimson without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lower Dimson as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What affects the price in Lower Dimson
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Dimson as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
