- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

What else we do in Bitterne Park
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Common questions in Bitterne Park
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will I be able to see the repair?
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.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
