Do you need bath repair in Southford?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Common reasons people in Southford contact us are:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides

About our bath repair in Southford
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and holes from dropped items, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
FAQs for Southford
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you cover the whole of Isle of Wight?
We work UK-wide, so Southford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
