How bath repair works in SO21
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and chips along the edge of the bath.
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Signs you need bath repair
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
What affects the price in SO21
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Repair or replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
FAQs for SO21
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
