Bath repair at your home in Crookham

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. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and deep scratches in acrylic, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we are called out for in Crookham

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • A chipped rim or side

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Crookham get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  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 following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
