Our bath repair service in SO53

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Near you in Chandler's Ford

We visit homes around Thornden School, St Boniface and Chandler's Ford Infant School. There’s a railway station in Chandler's Ford itself: Chandlers Ford station. Well-known places in the area include Princess Anne Hospital (4 miles south-west) and Eastleigh Museum (1.9 miles south-east). The countryside around Chandler's Ford includes Flexford Nature Reserve.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place.

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Common problems we fix in SO53

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. 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.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Landlords, agents and businesses in SO53

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Questions from SO53

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
