What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Anthill Common. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
About our bath repair in Anthill Common
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

When to call us in Anthill Common
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 enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Common reasons people in Anthill Common contact us are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Common questions in Anthill Common
How do I get a price for bath repair in Anthill Common?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
