Bath repair in Broadbridge Heath without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and rust by the waste and overflow.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Broadbridge Heath and across West Sussex.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What else we do in Broadbridge Heath
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
