Bath repair in Compton, done in place

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and rust by the waste and overflow.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Compton and across Hampshire.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Have new chips seen to early

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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

What we are called out for in Compton

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Compton customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
