Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.

Questions from Alverstone Garden Village
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Alverstone Garden Village?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
What we’re called out for in Alverstone Garden Village
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
