Southdown questions
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Southdown?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL10 postcode.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Southdown, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PL10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Southdown
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Southdown. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
