Bath repair at your home in BH8
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and impact holes in acrylic.
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How the damage happens
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
BH8 questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Do you cover the entire of Bournemouth?
We work UK-wide, and that includes BH8. Prices don’t change with location.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
