When to call us in Rushmoor
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

The process
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.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Questions from Rushmoor
Do you work in Rushmoor?
We do. Technicians travel to Rushmoor from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Landlord and trade work in Rushmoor
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rushmoor use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
