Bath repair in Hambledon, done in place

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repairing versus replacing in Hambledon

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

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 the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

FAQs for Hambledon

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Are there extra charges for Hambledon?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you need bath repair in Hambledon?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rust spots around the plughole

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
