Signs you need bath repair in Old Alresford
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders

Bath repair in Old Alresford, done in place
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. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Questions from Old Alresford
Do you cover Old Alresford?
We do. We send a technician to Old Alresford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
