About our bath repair in Avisford
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and chips under the taps, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Avisford questions
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Are there extra charges for Avisford?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Avisford. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BN18 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
