Bath repair across SO50: what to expect

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Cost

Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What’s near Eastleigh

Our customers here include homes close to Quilley School of Engineering, Lakeside Country Park and Church of the Resurrection, among other places. Other local landmarks include The Wagon Works pub (under half a mile north-west) and Norwood Primary School (0.5 miles west). Eastleigh has its own railway station: Eastleigh station. Well-known places in the area include Moorgreen Hospital (2.9 miles south) and Eastleigh Museum (less than half a mile west). Not far away are Flexford Nature Reserve.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included

What affects the price in SO50

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Signs you need bath repair

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

SO50: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes SO50. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
