Bath repair in Keymer without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with rust spots around the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can usually put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos 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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Keymer
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel

What we are called out for in Keymer
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Your questions about bath repair in Keymer
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Are there extra charges for Keymer?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How much does bath repair cost in Keymer?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens on the day
When we visit, 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 let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- 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 next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
