What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Portland Bill. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
About our bath repair in Portland Bill
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the following day. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust by the waste and overflow, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Signs you need bath repair in Portland Bill
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Common reasons people in Portland Bill contact us are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Landlords, agents and businesses in Portland Bill
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Portland Bill questions
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
Everywhere in the UK, Portland Bill included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
