Our bath repair service in SO15
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are cracks in an acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Cost
Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for SO15. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The countryside around Shirley includes Testwood Lakes.
Common problems we fix in SO15
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
SO15 questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
