About our bath repair in Dial Post
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Fixed prices from your photos
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Your questions about bath repair in Dial Post
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Dial Post and the rest of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for Dial Post?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What affects the price in Dial Post
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Dial Post, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What else we do in Dial Post
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Dial Post
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
