Bath repair at your home in Sopley
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and impact holes in acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price

Advice
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we’re called out for in Sopley
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Your questions about bath repair in Sopley
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you work in Sopley?
We do. We send a technician to Sopley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Sopley, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sopley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
