Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

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

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Bath repair at your home in Chandler's Ford

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. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Chandler's Ford

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chandler's Ford

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chandler's Ford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Do you need bath repair in Chandler's Ford?

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Chandler's Ford

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

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

Questions from Chandler's Ford

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How much does bath repair cost in Chandler's Ford?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Chandler's Ford included. Travel is included in the price.

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.
