Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How we handle bath repair in Sutton

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and impact holes in acrylic, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Questions from Sutton

What areas do you cover?

All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No extra charge for your area

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RH20 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
