Do you need bath repair in East Ashling?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders

How we handle bath repair in East Ashling
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Every job is backed for twelve months in East Ashling and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
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 typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

East Ashling: your questions answered
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in East Ashling and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
