Bath repair in Gosport without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Common problems we fix in Gosport
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Gosport
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.
Your questions about bath repair in Gosport
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
