Bath repair in Hastingleigh, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and holes from dropped items, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Common questions in Hastingleigh
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
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.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Hastingleigh
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Hastingleigh and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Hastingleigh customers choose us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Most clients in Hastingleigh get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
