Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour mixed on the day to match

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Sutton Waldron: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
When to call us in Sutton Waldron
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Before booking anyone
- How to care for the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
