Bath repair in Gay Street, done in place
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We are often asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chipped rim or side, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
In a village or hamlet like Gay Street, homes are often older cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. Some have heavy cast iron baths or tight bathrooms, and removing a bath from an older house is rarely simple. Bath repair in place avoids all of that.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, 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.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
When to call us in Gay Street
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
Rented homes near Pulborough station (about 2.7 miles south-west) change hands often, and repairing baths between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
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. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
