How we handle bath repair in Southsea
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LL11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Southsea questions
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LL11 postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repair or replace in Southsea?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
