Repair or replace in Totton?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Bath repair in Totton without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We’re often asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and cracks in an acrylic bath, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Totton. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Common problems we fix in Totton
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
- Who turns up on the day
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Totton: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How much does bath repair cost in Totton?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Are there extra charges for Totton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Totton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Totton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and 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 we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
