Bath repair in Southill, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and damage beneath the taps.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

What else we do in Southill
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Repair or replace in Southill?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No extra charge for your area

Do you need bath repair in Southill?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Southill questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Do you work in Southill?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Southill and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Southill is covered. Prices do not change with location.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
