Choosing a repair company

Bath repair at your home in Felbridge

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the next day. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Felbridge as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Your questions about bath repair in Felbridge

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Do you work in Felbridge?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Felbridge from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Felbridge, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
