About our bath repair in Emsworth

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common problems we fix in Emsworth

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repairing versus replacing in Emsworth

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site

Landlords, agents and businesses in Emsworth

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
