Every bath repair near Andover town centre follows our systematic approach developed over 30 years. Initial assessment determines damage extent and bath material - crucial for selecting appropriate repair compounds. Military quarters typically have pressed steel baths requiring rust prevention, while Augusta Park homes feature modern acrylics needing flexible repairs.
Preparation involves thorough cleaning and surface profiling. For the chalk-influenced properties around Weyhill and Charlton, we remove mineral deposits that could compromise adhesion. Historic properties near the Guildhall often require careful treatment of lead-based paints, which we handle following HSE guidelines.
The repair itself uses aerospace-grade compounds color-matched to your bath. We build up damaged areas in micro-layers, ensuring no shrinkage or visible edges. This technique works equally well on hairline cracks in modern baths and deep chips in Victorian cast iron. Final polishing achieves factory-finish quality that's indistinguishable from the original surface.
Bath replacement in Andover typically costs £2,500-£4,500 including removal, new bath, plumbing, and making good.
