Bath chip & crack repair in Minstead, Hampshire
Problem with your bath in Minstead? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Bath repair at your home in Minstead
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. A repair stops both. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks in an acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Minstead as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
When to call us in Minstead
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Questions from Minstead
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
