About our bath repair in Wootton
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Should you replace it?
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. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Wootton questions
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
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.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Do you need bath repair in Wootton?
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.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Comparing quotes
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
