Bath repair in Crawley Green, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Crawley Green
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common questions in Crawley Green
Do you cover Crawley Green?
We do. We send a technician to Crawley Green for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you need bath repair in Crawley Green?
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Look out for these signs:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Repair or replace in Crawley Green?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crawley Green
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
