Bath repair in Stoborough without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Questions from Stoborough

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Stoborough?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BH20 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

Across the UK, and that includes Stoborough. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Stoborough, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
