Bath repair at your home in Fawley Bottom
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are chips along the edge of the bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Fawley Bottom questions
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Fawley Bottom. Prices do not change with location.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
If you’re in Fawley Bottom and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fawley Bottom use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RG9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
