Bath Repair for Westhampnett homes

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westhampnett as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Bath repair in Westhampnett, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Westhampnett and across West Sussex.

What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Westhampnett questions
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Repair or replace in Westhampnett?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
