Your questions about bath repair in Littlehampton

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Littlehampton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are there extra charges for Littlehampton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Bath repair in Littlehampton, done in place

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and holes from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Littlehampton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Repair or replace in Littlehampton?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in Littlehampton

Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
