Bath repair in Portsea without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the next day. We are frequently asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and a cracked acrylic bath, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Portsea and across Portsmouth.

Do you need bath repair in Portsea?
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Portsea

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Common questions in Portsea
Do you cover Portsea?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Portsea. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Portsea?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PO1 postcode.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Portsmouth.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Portsea customers choose us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair
See our prices page and bath cost comparison.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What affects the price in Portsea
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
