Bath repair in Crosspost, done in place

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and a cracked acrylic bath, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Crosspost

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, 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.

When to call us in Crosspost

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chipped rim or side

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Crosspost

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Crosspost, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Crosspost

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Crosspost.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, 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.

Do you cover Crosspost?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Crosspost and the rest of West Sussex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
