- Rusty patches near the plughole

How we handle bath repair in Shedfield
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. Most baths can be used again the next day. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and damage beneath the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Shedfield and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Shedfield
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What happens on the day
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 a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Shedfield
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Common questions in Shedfield
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Hampshire.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What affects the price in Shedfield
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SO32 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
