Bath repair near South Bersted

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Bath repair in South Bersted without replacing anything

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Your questions about bath repair in South Bersted

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Do you come to South Bersted?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to South Bersted. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Signs you need bath repair in South Bersted

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A chipped rim or side

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in South Bersted

  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
