How we handle bath repair in Leigh Park

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and chips caused by builders, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Leigh Park questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Hampshire.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can you do it?

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

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Leigh Park

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Do not 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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Leigh Park. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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’ll get a fixed figure back.

Do you need bath repair in Leigh Park?

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
