Bath repair in Shermanbury

Bath repair in Shermanbury without replacing anything

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We are often asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

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.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shermanbury

If you manage property in Shermanbury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  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. Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
