Bath repair at your home in SO31
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
What you will pay
Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for SO31. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Work done at your home or business
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for SO31. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it.
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the damage happens
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
Common questions in SO31
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
