About our bath repair in Furnace Green

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and chips on the rim or sides.

In and around Furnace Green, homes are a mix of older cottages and newer houses. Older ones may still have cast iron or steel baths, which are well worth keeping, and newer ones typically have acrylic.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Baths in Furnace Green homes

Landlords with property near Three Bridges station (about 1.2 miles north) use us between tenancies, so baths are repaired rather than replaced.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. If your bath in Furnace Green is sound, a repair is typically the better choice.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Furnace Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it. In a smaller place like Furnace Green, parking is rarely a problem. Mention a lane, gate or long drive when you book.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Furnace Green

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Furnace Green. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
