Bath chip & crack repair in Townsend, Dorset

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Bath repair at your home in Townsend
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips along the edge of the bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Signs you need bath repair in Townsend
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath

Common questions in Townsend

What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do I need to be at home?

Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
