Trusted bath repair in Hiltingbury

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hiltingbury. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

About our bath repair in Hiltingbury

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and chips caused by builders, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.

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 typically the cheaper route.

Repair or replace in Hiltingbury?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Rinse it down after each bath

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Common questions in Hiltingbury

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Hampshire.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SO53 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hiltingbury

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
