About bath repair in PO2

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or sides and rusty patches near the plughole.

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

What you’ll pay

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What’s near Hilsea

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Coach and Horses pub, St Francis' Church and Gatcombe Park Primary School and the streets around them.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
A steel bath rusted through

Landlords, agents and businesses in PO2

If you manage property in PO2, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

The colour and finish to match
Access to the area
Doing more than one item at once
The type of damage

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
What it’s made of, if you know
Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What we are called out for in PO2

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

Chips on the rim or sides
Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
A hole punched through by something heavy
A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Your questions about bath repair in PO2

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
