About our bath repair in Crawley
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or sides and snagging damage from a refit.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Crawley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
If you are in Crawley and want a price, 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.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Crawley
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Your questions about bath repair in Crawley
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are there extra charges for Crawley?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How much does bath repair cost in Crawley?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your RH10 postcode.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
