Horley: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you work in Horley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Horley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Bath repair in Horley without replacing anything
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, normally in a single visit. We’re often asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips under the taps, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Horley and across Oxfordshire.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repairing versus replacing in Horley
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Signs you need bath repair in Horley

Landlord and trade work in Horley
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
