Common questions in Netley
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How much does bath repair cost in Netley?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Netley. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Advice
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Netley
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
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.
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 whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
