About our bath repair in Runcton
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and chips caused by builders.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Runcton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
FAQs for Runcton
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across West Sussex.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Runcton. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Runcton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
