DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Bath repair at your home in Albourne Green
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can usually put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Do you need bath repair in Albourne Green?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chipped rim or side
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items

Common questions in Albourne Green
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
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. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
