How we handle bath repair in Milton on Stour
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Milton on Stour: your questions answered
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What areas do you cover?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Other services in Milton on Stour
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Signs you need bath repair in Milton on Stour
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
