Bath repair at your home in Horley
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or sides and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
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, so it’s always worth repairing.
Signs you need bath repair in Horley
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
