About our bath repair in Ibsley

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ibsley and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Ibsley questions

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Should you replace it?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Common problems we fix in Ibsley

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. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage beneath the taps

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
