How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Bath repair at your home in Southwater
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips on the rim or sides, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Southwater and across West Sussex.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southwater
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need bath repair in Southwater?
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
FAQs for Southwater
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RH13 postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Southwater.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
