Bath repair in Alverstone, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rusty patches near the plughole, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alverstone as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
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’re called out for in Alverstone
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Look out for these signs:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
- How to care for the finish
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Alverstone questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
