Bath repair in Alton without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and rust spots around the plughole.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- A fixed quote before booking
- Work done at your home or business

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. 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.
Common questions in Alton
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Alton. Prices don’t change with location.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
