Bath repair in Kimbridge

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

About our bath repair in Kimbridge

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. 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 snagging damage from a refit and chips under the taps, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Kimbridge

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you come to Kimbridge?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Kimbridge and the rest of Hampshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Kimbridge

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
