About our bath repair in South Harting

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about a chip where the taps sit and deep scratches in acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What affects the price in South Harting

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

FAQs for South Harting

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How long before I can use the bath?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Hampshire.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Landlord and trade work in South Harting

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Common problems we fix in South Harting

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
