Bath repair in Plaitford Green, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and chips caused by builders, we can help.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repairing versus replacing in Plaitford Green
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
How it 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 two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
FAQs for Plaitford Green
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Plaitford Green. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Plaitford Green?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SO51 postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Common problems we fix in Plaitford Green
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
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 to keep costs down.
