Bath repair in Hounsdown, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

FAQs for Hounsdown
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Southampton.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
When to call us in Hounsdown
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit

What affects the price in Hounsdown
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SO40 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Repairing versus replacing in Hounsdown
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
