Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we handle bath repair in North Wootton
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Signs you need bath repair in North Wootton
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Look out for any of the following:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
What affects the price in North Wootton
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Repairing versus replacing in North Wootton

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
