What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
How we handle bath repair in Hollingbury
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. We’re often asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips on the rim or sides, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Do you need bath repair in Hollingbury?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips under the taps

What affects the price in Hollingbury
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hollingbury. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Hollingbury: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
