DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath repair at your home in Fulking
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with holes from dropped items and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fulking as everywhere else we work.

Fulking questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Fulking?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your BN5 postcode.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
For anyone letting property in or around Fulking, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
