Bath repair for Idstone homes

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Idstone

Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Common questions in Idstone

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Idstone. Prices don’t change with location.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

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, which makes it well worth repairing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
