About our bath repair in Southwick
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and holes from dropped items, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Southwick as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southwick as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Repair or replace in Southwick?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colour-matched on site
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

What else we do in Southwick
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Southwick: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Hampshire.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Do you need bath repair in Southwick?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- How to care for the finish
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
