Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
About our bath repair in Bentworth
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. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Bentworth
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you work in Bentworth?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bentworth and the rest of Hampshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
What affects the price in Bentworth
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Bentworth get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. 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.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When to call us in Bentworth
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Chips under the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How to care for the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
