DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About our bath repair in Lodsworth
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lodsworth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
