Bath repair in Durrants

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Have new chips seen to early

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. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Bath repair in Durrants without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the day after. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and impact holes in acrylic, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

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

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

Durrants: your questions answered

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Durrants, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

What we’re called out for in Durrants

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips caused by builders

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Durrants

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
