Bath repair for Cuckfield homes

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

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

Bath repair in Cuckfield without replacing anything

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. If you’re dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and impact holes in acrylic, we can typically put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Cuckfield, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cuckfield use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
