Signs you need bath repair in Winterborne Zelston
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Before booking anyone
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
Bath repair at your home in Winterborne Zelston
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and chips along the edge of the bath, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

FAQs for Winterborne Zelston
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Winterborne Zelston?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Winterborne Zelston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Winterborne Zelston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What else we do in Winterborne Zelston
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Winterborne Zelston
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
