Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips along the edge of the bath, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in St Mary's and across Southampton.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for St Mary's. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for St Mary's. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in St Mary's, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Mary's

For anyone letting property in or around St Mary's, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address 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. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

St Mary's: your questions answered

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

When to call us in St Mary's

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Comparing quotes

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
