  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Choosing a repair company

About our bath repair in Upper Street

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust by the waste and overflow, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Repairing versus replacing in Upper Street

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Upper Street questions

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Upper Street.

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.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Street as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
