About our bath repair in Southwick
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage beneath the taps.
In a village like Southwick, some baths have been in for many years. If the bath is sound, bath repair gives it a new lease of life without disturbing the rest of the room.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Southwick questions
Will you travel to Southwick?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
My house in Southwick is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
Frequently, yes: original pieces are typically worth keeping. Photos let us tell you what we’d recommend.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together. Somewhere as small as Southwick, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repairing versus replacing in Southwick
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Older homes around Southwick may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. A repair keeps the original.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Southwick. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us

When to call us in Southwick
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
In the older streets of Southwick, around landmarks like Church of St Mary, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
