How we handle bath repair in Crawleyside
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We’re frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common problems we fix in Crawleyside
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole

FAQs for Crawleyside
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Repairing versus replacing in Crawleyside
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crawleyside
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Crawleyside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Crawleyside. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
