Bath repair in Southcote, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about impact holes in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.
FAQs for Southcote
How much does bath repair cost in Southcote?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you cover Southcote?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Southcote and the rest of Central Bedfordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlord and trade work in Southcote
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repairing versus replacing in Southcote
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- No extra charge for your area
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

What affects the price in Southcote
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Look out for these signs:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath
