About bath repair in SP10
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Pricing in SP10

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we are called out for in SP10
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Look out for any of the following:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Repair or replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common questions in SP10
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?
Everywhere in the UK, SP10 included. Travel is included in the price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
