Bath repair in Curbridge, done in place

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you are dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Curbridge

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Curbridge use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Chips under the taps

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Curbridge: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally within a day, depending on the repair.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
