Bath repair in Lower Beeding

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Bath repair in Lower Beeding without replacing anything

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and chips caused by builders, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Lower Beeding. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Lower Beeding and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
