Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Bath repair in Hill Head, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and a cracked acrylic bath, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Your questions about bath repair in Hill Head
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you work in Hill Head?
We do. We send a technician to Hill Head for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you need bath repair in Hill Head?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides

Landlord and trade work in Hill Head
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hill Head use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
