Bath repair near Lowford

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Bath repair at your home in Lowford

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lowford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in Lowford

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will there be a smell?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you come to Lowford?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Lowford and the rest of Hampshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
