About our bath repair in Farnborough
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can normally put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Farnborough
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Farnborough.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you cover Farnborough?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Farnborough and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What we are called out for in Farnborough
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
