Bath repair near Aldwick

Bath repair at your home in Aldwick

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and chips on the rim or sides, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Aldwick

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need bath repair in Aldwick?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

10 questions to ask before booking

Aldwick: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Aldwick included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Aldwick. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Aldwick. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
