When to call us in Moorside
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day

Bath repair at your home in Moorside
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Moorside. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Your questions about bath repair in Moorside
Do you come to Moorside?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Moorside and the rest of Dorset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Are there extra charges for Moorside?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
