Can I fix it myself?
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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
About our bath repair in Southbourne
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. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can

Do you need bath repair in Southbourne?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Southbourne
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Questions from Southbourne
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you cover Southbourne?
We do. Technicians travel to Southbourne from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Southbourne?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Southbourne. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PO10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
