How we handle bath repair in Maybush
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We’re frequently asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Do you need bath repair in Maybush?
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 enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips caused by builders
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
What to look for in a quote

- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Common questions in Maybush
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
What areas do you cover?
All of Southampton, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
