How we handle bath repair in Oliver's Battery
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Oliver's Battery, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Oliver's Battery questions
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hampshire.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Oliver's Battery. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Oliver's Battery. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
