DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What else we do in Godshill
Do you need bath repair in Godshill?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole

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
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Godshill: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Hampshire.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
