Bath repair in Whiteley

Do you need bath repair in Whiteley?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: 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:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Our hiring checklist

Bath repair at your home in Whiteley

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and 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. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Whiteley

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

Aftercare tips

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

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

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.

FAQs for Whiteley

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Are there extra charges for Whiteley?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix 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 to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
