How we handle bath repair in North End
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We are often asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and snagging damage from a refit, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

North End: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including North End and the rest of Portsmouth. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in North End
Rust typically 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.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
