Fishbourne: your questions answered
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Fishbourne, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What we’re called out for in Fishbourne
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.
Look out for these signs:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
Most clients in Fishbourne get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
