Bath repair in Itchen without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We are frequently asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need bath repair in Itchen
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- If travel is included in the price
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Should you replace it?
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. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- 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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Itchen, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
