Do you need bath repair in Felcourt?

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Comparing quotes

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath

For a price in Felcourt, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Felcourt: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you work in Felcourt?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Felcourt and the rest of West Sussex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

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

Composite and resin

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
