Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Bath repair in Binscombe without replacing anything

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. If you are dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can generally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Binscombe

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Binscombe as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Common questions in Binscombe

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Surrey, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your GU7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
