There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and chips caused by builders, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Whitchurch Canonicorum
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Questions from Whitchurch Canonicorum
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Common problems we fix in Whitchurch Canonicorum
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.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
