Bath repair in Watersfield without replacing anything
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. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about a chipped rim or side and holes from dropped items.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Common problems we fix in Watersfield
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Watersfield
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
