Bath repair at your home in Fordbridge
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What else we do in Fordbridge
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Signs you need bath repair in Fordbridge
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Impact holes in acrylic

- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

What affects the price in Fordbridge
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Fordbridge, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Common questions in Fordbridge
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are there extra charges for Fordbridge?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Fordbridge?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
