How we handle bath repair in Laverstoke

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are holes from dropped items and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Laverstoke. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Laverstoke

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Laverstoke use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common problems we fix in Laverstoke

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: 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.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

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

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Laverstoke questions

How soon can you come?

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

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Do you work in Laverstoke?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Laverstoke and the rest of Hampshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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 areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  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. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
