How we handle bath repair in Milborne Port
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Milborne Port. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
