FAQs for Sturminster Marshall
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Sturminster Marshall?
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 BH21 postcode.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repairing versus replacing in Sturminster Marshall
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Sturminster Marshall, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
