Bath repair across Brighton and Hove: what to expect

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and a kit repair that didn’t last, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Common problems we fix in Brighton and Hove

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

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

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Impact holes in acrylic

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

Brighton and Hove questions

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are you accredited?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
