Bath repair for Winton homes

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.

  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. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

About our bath repair in Winton

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re often asked to fix holes from dropped items and a chip where the taps sit, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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, which makes it well worth repairing.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Winton

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Winton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Winton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
