Bath repair at your home in Hambledon

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hambledon and across Hampshire.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Hambledon?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic

Signs you need bath repair in Hambledon

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again
  • How to look after the finish

Questions from Hambledon

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PO7 postcode.

Do you come to Hambledon?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hambledon for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

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.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. 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.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
