Southfield: your questions answered
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you work in Southfield?
We do. Technicians travel to Southfield from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Southfield?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Bath repair in Southfield, done in place
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Southfield and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Southfield. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Southfield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What else we do in Southfield
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
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.
Signs you need bath repair in Southfield
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.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
- Aftercare advice

Repair or replace in Southfield?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
