Bath chip & crack repair in Little London, West Sussex
Local bath repair for Little London: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Bath repair in Little London without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Little London and across West Sussex.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour-matched on site
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Little London: your questions answered
Do you work in Little London?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Little London from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
