Bath repair in Hound, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped rim or side and a chip where the taps sit, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Signs you need bath repair in Hound
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include

- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
FAQs for Hound
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Hound?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Hound and the rest of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Are there extra charges for Hound?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work

What else we do in Hound
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hound
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
