Bath repair in Puncknowle without replacing anything
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 generally use the bath the day after. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Questions from Puncknowle
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
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.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Do you need bath repair in Puncknowle?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What affects the price in Puncknowle
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Puncknowle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
If you are in Puncknowle and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
