About bath repair in SO52

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

If you manage property in SO52, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Common problems we fix in SO52

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused by builders

Repairing versus replacing

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered

SO52: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
