Bath repair in Sharpthorne, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the day after. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and cracks in an acrylic bath, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Sharpthorne and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Do you need bath repair in Sharpthorne?
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Questions from Sharpthorne
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you work in Sharpthorne?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Sharpthorne from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
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’ll say so.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
Repairing versus replacing in Sharpthorne
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Sharpthorne clients choose us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We leave the room as we found it

- Colour mixed on the day to match

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
If you are in Sharpthorne and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
