How we handle bath repair in Fleet
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and a chip where the taps sit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- A fixed quote before you book
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Fleet, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What else we do in Fleet
Fleet questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel

What affects the price in Fleet
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
