How bath repair works in SO18
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a kit repair that didn’t last.
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Prices in SO18
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in SO18 use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
Repair or replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we are called out for in SO18
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
- A chipped rim or side
SO18 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.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you cover the entire of Southampton?
The whole UK, including all of Southampton. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
