Bath repair at your home in West Hoathly
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the day after. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and holes from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

FAQs for West Hoathly
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
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. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
What affects the price in West Hoathly
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in West Hoathly, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in West Hoathly
For anyone letting property in or around West Hoathly, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repairing versus replacing in West Hoathly
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Everything repaired in place
- Fixed prices from your photos

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
