Bath repair for Petersfield homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Petersfield

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we handle bath repair in Petersfield

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We are frequently asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and impact holes in acrylic, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should you replace it?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Petersfield. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Petersfield

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Questions from Petersfield

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
