When to call us in Fairlight Cove

People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

How we handle bath repair in Fairlight Cove
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and snagging damage from a refit, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area

Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a bath repair durable?

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

What else we do in Fairlight Cove
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
