Bath repair near Chichester

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Bath repair in Chichester without replacing anything

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s chips under the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

Materials we work on in Chichester

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

Common problems we fix in Chichester

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Landlord and trade work in Chichester

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about bath repair in Chichester

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Are there extra charges for Chichester?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
