About our bath repair in Springbourne
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and a chipped rim or side.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Common problems we fix in Springbourne
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Common questions in Springbourne
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Springbourne?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you cover Springbourne?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Springbourne and the rest of Bournemouth. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Repairing versus replacing in Springbourne
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- A year’s guarantee on all work

What affects the price in Springbourne
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Springbourne. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
