Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Southerton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
For a price in Southerton, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Bath repair at your home in Southerton
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

FAQs for Southerton
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover Southerton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Southerton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Are there extra charges for Southerton?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colour-matched on site
- Same prices wherever you are

What else we do in Southerton
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we’re called out for in Southerton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
