Should you replace it?

Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.

What we are called out for in West Ringstead
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for these signs:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Ringstead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Common questions in West Ringstead
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
