How we handle bath repair in Selborne
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Selborne
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover Selborne?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Selborne for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Selborne use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
