How we handle bath repair in Clanville

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, normally in a single visit. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and holes from dropped items.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repair or replace in Clanville?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Clanville customers choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Clanville

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

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Clanville. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Clanville. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most clients in Clanville get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Clanville questions

Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Clanville and the rest of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

How invisible is a bath 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 my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Clanville.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
