Bath repair at your home in Lytchett Minster
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are holes from dropped items and chips on the rim or sides.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Lytchett Minster
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- How to look after the finish
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
For anyone letting property in or around Lytchett Minster, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Lytchett Minster
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Have new chips seen to early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Your questions about bath repair in Lytchett Minster
Do you come to Lytchett Minster?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Lytchett Minster from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
Across the UK, and that includes Lytchett Minster. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
