About our bath repair in Crawley Down
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Common problems we fix in Crawley Down
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Common questions in Crawley Down
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
How much does bath repair cost in Crawley Down?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Which areas do you work in?
All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Crawley Down, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crawley Down use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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 will not last.
