Bath repair in West Wittering

When to call us in West Wittering

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in West Wittering

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for West Wittering. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
