Bath repair in Odstock without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the next day. Typical jobs include rust by the waste and overflow and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Odstock
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Signs you need bath repair in Odstock
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 lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What affects the price in Odstock
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
If you manage property in Odstock, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Your questions about bath repair in Odstock
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
