How bath repair works in DT6
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, with the colour mixed on site. We’re frequently asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Around Bridport
In Bridport, that means homes near The Sir John Colfox Academy, Bridport Primary School and The Bull Hotel and the streets around them. Nearby you’ll also find Burcomb Wood (4.6 miles north-east) and Bridport Community Hospital (0.8 miles north-west). The countryside around Bridport includes Thorncombe Beacon.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
How the damage happens
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips caused by builders
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Common questions in DT6
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Dorset.
