Bath repair near New Forest

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Bath repair at your home in New Forest

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the following day. Typical jobs include scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chip where the taps sit, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in New Forest

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What affects the price in New Forest

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you are in New Forest and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

New Forest: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How much does bath repair cost in New Forest?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

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.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.
