Bath repair near Blackfield

Bath repair at your home in Blackfield

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Blackfield

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Blackfield. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Blackfield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SO45 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Blackfield: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

What about rust by the waste?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
