Signs you need bath repair in Belbins
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps

Bath repair at your home in Belbins
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

FAQs for Belbins
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?
We work UK-wide, so Belbins is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Belbins. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Advice
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
