How bath repair works in PO22
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. Typical jobs include scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chipped rim or side, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Prices in PO22
Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Landmarks near Middleton-on-Sea
Around Middleton-on-Sea, we work in homes near Bishop Tufnell CofE Primary School, Felpham Community College and St Nicholas Church.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
Most clients in PO22 get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to look after the finish
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Questions from PO22
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
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.
