What we are called out for in Kent Street
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Bath repair in Kent Street without replacing anything
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and a hole punched through by something heavy.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What else we do in Kent Street
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kent Street
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Kent Street
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- 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 day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
If you’re in Kent Street and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Kent Street questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Kent Street?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kent Street and the rest of West Sussex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
