Bath repair for Crawley End homes

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How we handle bath repair in Crawley End

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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.

What we are called out for in Crawley End

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Crawley End

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

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.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Crawley End. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Crawley End, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Crawley End

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you come to Crawley End?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Crawley End for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How much does bath repair cost in Crawley End?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

Materials we repair
