How we handle bath repair in Wool
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about deep scratches in acrylic and chips under the taps.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Our work in Wool
Wool is about 10 miles east of Dorchester, in Dorset. From the centre of Wool to the outlying streets, we offer exactly the same service: a fixed price, a tidy visit and a guarantee. We cover 462 places across Dorset, from the larger towns to small villages.
Every address in BH20 is covered. From High Street Close, Station Road and High Street or anywhere nearby, a technician can come to you. Nearby, we also work in Giddy Green (1 mile west), Coombe Keynes (1 mile south), East Knighton (2 miles west), Blacknoll (2 miles west) and Portway (2 miles west). Further out, we also cover Weymouth (11 miles south-west), Dorchester (10 miles west), Wimborne Minster (14 miles north-east), Blandford Forum (13 miles north), Broadstone (12 miles north-east) and Corfe Mullen (11 miles north-east).
Near you in Wool
We visit homes around The Ship Inn, St Mary & St Joseph's Catholic Primary School and Roman Catholic Church of St Joseph and the streets around them. There is a railway station in Wool itself: Wool station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Wareham Community Hospital (4.9 miles east). The countryside around Wool includes Tadnoll and Winfrith Heath and Bindon Hill.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
When to call us in Wool
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps

Wool: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you cover Wool?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Wool. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Wool?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
For a price in Wool, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What affects the price in Wool
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
