Bath repair across Southampton: what to expect
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and deep scratches in acrylic, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Local landmarks in Southampton
Our clients here include homes close to Saint Mary's, St Mary's Independent School and Rockstone Place Park and the streets around them. You’ll also find Bevois Town Primary School (under half a mile west), The Hobbit pub (under half a mile west) and St Anne's Catholic School (0.6 miles south-west). Southampton has its own railway station: St Denys station. Nearby you will also find Marlands Shopping Centre (1 mile south-west) and R J Mitchell Museum (0.9 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Netley Common.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Common problems we fix in Southampton
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Southampton, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Have new chips seen to early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Common questions in Southampton
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you cover Southampton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Southampton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
