Sidlesham Common: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work in Sidlesham Common?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sidlesham Common and the rest of West Sussex. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
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.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Bath repair in Sidlesham Common without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or sides and rust by the waste and overflow.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Signs you need bath repair in Sidlesham Common
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

What affects the price in Sidlesham Common
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sidlesham Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
