How we handle bath repair in Allbrook
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We are often asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

FAQs for Allbrook
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
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.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Allbrook and the rest of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Do you need bath repair in Allbrook?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Common reasons people in Allbrook contact us include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
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 is the part we put right.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. 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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What affects the price in Allbrook
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Allbrook. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Allbrook get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
