Do you need bath repair in Southborough?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Southborough
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Southborough
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southborough use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
