Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Iping. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Iping clients choose us

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Iping. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

FAQs for Iping

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Iping and the rest of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover Iping?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Iping for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Iping

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Iping, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
