Bath repair at your home in Melcombe Regis
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are impact holes in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Melcombe Regis: your questions answered
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
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.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How invisible is a bath 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 do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Repairing versus replacing in Melcombe Regis
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What we are called out for in Melcombe Regis
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A chipped rim or side
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath

What affects the price in Melcombe Regis

- A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
