Bath repair in Midhurst

About our bath repair in Midhurst

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips under the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When to call us in Midhurst

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

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’s the part we put right.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Your questions about bath repair in Midhurst

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Midhurst. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Midhurst, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Midhurst

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Midhurst use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
