Bath repair at your home in Adversane

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and a chip where the taps sit, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Your questions about bath repair in Adversane

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you cover Adversane?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Adversane and the rest of West Sussex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

When to call us in Adversane

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Advice

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
