How we handle bath repair in Moreton
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Moreton and across Dorset.

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
FAQs for Moreton
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
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.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
