Bath Repair for Fordingbridge homes
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Fordingbridge, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
How it works
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, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on

About our bath repair in Fordingbridge
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are holes from dropped items and damage beneath the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Fordingbridge
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Questions from Fordingbridge
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Are there extra charges for Fordingbridge?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you cover Fordingbridge?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Fordingbridge. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Common problems we fix in Fordingbridge
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
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
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
