Bath chip & crack repair in Waddon, Dorset
Our repair technicians come to Waddon for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Bath repair in Waddon, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can normally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Waddon. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common problems we fix in Waddon
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Common questions in Waddon
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
We cover the whole UK, including Waddon and the rest of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Waddon, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waddon as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
