Bath repair at your home in Sharnhill Green
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and snagging damage from a refit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Sharnhill Green
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you work in Sharnhill Green?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Sharnhill Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you need bath repair in Sharnhill Green?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath

What else we do in Sharnhill Green
Repairs by material
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’s what we repair.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
