Bath repair at your home in Pickhurst
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips along the edge of the bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pickhurst and across West Sussex.

FAQs for Pickhurst
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you cover Pickhurst?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pickhurst for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common problems we fix in Pickhurst
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
