When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

Bath repair in Tollerford without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and holes from dropped items, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tollerford and across Dorset.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlord and trade work in Tollerford
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Signs you need bath repair in Tollerford
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
- How long it needs to cure
