Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Amberley. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Amberley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Do you need bath repair in Amberley?

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Amberley: your questions answered

Do you come to Amberley?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Amberley and the rest of West Sussex. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Amberley?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Are there extra charges for Amberley?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
