Bath repair for Nutbourne homes

Bath repair in Nutbourne, done in place

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and damage beneath the taps, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What affects the price in Nutbourne

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Nutbourne and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common questions in Nutbourne

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do you work in Nutbourne?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Nutbourne and the rest of West Sussex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What we are called out for in Nutbourne

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips caused by builders

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
