Bath repair in Puddletown without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We are often asked to fix a chipped rim or side and holes from dropped items, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When to call us in Puddletown
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic

Repairing versus replacing in Puddletown
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
