Bath repair in Hawkley, done in place

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we’re called out for in Hawkley

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips under the taps
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hawkley. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Have new chips seen to early

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

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

Your questions about bath repair in Hawkley

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you come to Hawkley?

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

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

When can you do it?

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

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
