Bath Repair for Itchingfield homes
We travel to Itchingfield for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How we handle bath repair in Itchingfield
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re often asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and holes from dropped items, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Itchingfield as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repairing versus replacing in Itchingfield
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we are called out for in Itchingfield
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Common reasons people in Itchingfield contact us are:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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.
Common questions in Itchingfield
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Itchingfield. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
