Bath repair in Beaulieu, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a hole punched through by something heavy.
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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Beaulieu and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we’re called out for in Beaulieu
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for these signs:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repairing versus replacing in Beaulieu
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. 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.

Your questions about bath repair in Beaulieu
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How much does bath repair cost in Beaulieu?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
