Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Bath repair at your home in Southwaite
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. If you are dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can generally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Southwaite and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Southwaite. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When to call us in Southwaite
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Southwaite

Southwaite: your questions answered
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
