Bath repair for Tangmere homes

Do you need bath repair in Tangmere?

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

How we handle bath repair in Tangmere

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about a chipped rim or side and snagging damage from a refit.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Landlord and trade work in Tangmere

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Tangmere questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

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.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

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.

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 the part we put right.
