Bath repair across PO39: what to expect

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

What’s near Totland

We visit homes around Colwell Bay Inn, Christ Church and St Saviour's Catholic Primary School and the streets around them. Further afield, we also cover the area around Dimbola Museum And Galleries (1.2 miles south-east) and Yarmouth Castle (2.5 miles north-east). The countryside around Totland includes Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve and Tennyson Down.

  • Parks and local facilities nearby include Medina (less than half a mile north)

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Should you replace it?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Your questions about bath repair in PO39

Do the materials smell?

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

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

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
