About our bath repair in Tolpuddle
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tolpuddle as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Tolpuddle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Common questions in Tolpuddle
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you cover Tolpuddle?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Tolpuddle and the rest of Dorset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are there extra charges for Tolpuddle?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common problems we fix in Tolpuddle
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A chip where the taps sit

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
