Bath repair at your home in The Frenches
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are holes from dropped items and damage beneath the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

The Frenches questions
How much does bath repair cost in The Frenches?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SO51 postcode.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Do you need bath repair in The Frenches?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole

What else we do in The Frenches
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
