How bath repair works in SO19

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and impact holes in acrylic.

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, 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.
The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Cost

Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including SO19. The price reflects:

Where the damage is and how we get to it
How many items we do on one visit
The type of damage
Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

Natural light rather than flash
A wider photo showing the entire bath
Any earlier repairs or coatings
What it’s made of, if you know

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

A steel bath rusted through
Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Landlord and trade work in SO19

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Common problems we fix in SO19

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Rusty patches near the plughole
Chips on the rim or sides

Common questions in SO19

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do you come to SO19?

We do. We send a technician to SO19 for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What areas do you cover?

All of Southampton, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
