Bath repair at your home in Balls Cross
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are cracks in an acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

FAQs for Balls Cross
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you come to Balls Cross?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Balls Cross and the rest of West Sussex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Signs you need bath repair in Balls Cross
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What affects the price in Balls Cross
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Balls Cross. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your GU28 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Should you replace it?
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. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
