How bath repair works in SO51
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. Each is repaired in place. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage beneath the taps.
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
What you will pay
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Around Romsey
Our clients here include homes close to Romsey Primary School, The Romsey School and Bishop Blaize Public House. Other local landmarks include St Swithun's Church (0.7 miles east) and The Mountbatten School (0.9 miles south-east). Romsey’s nearest station is Romsey station, about 0.5 miles west. Further afield, we also cover the area around Romsey Extra (1.4 miles south-west) and Romsey Community Hospital (within half a mile south). Not far away are Emer Bog and Baddesley Common.
Repairing versus replacing
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What we’re called out for in SO51
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
FAQs for SO51
How do I get a price for bath repair in SO51?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SO51 postcode.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
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.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
