Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. 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.

Landmarks near Hillstreet

A little further out are Romsey Extra (2.4 miles north) and Tatchbury Mount Hospital (1.1 miles south-west). Open spaces near Hillstreet include Testwood Lakes.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
