Bath repair in Wiston without replacing anything

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 regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and snagging damage from a refit.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wiston

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

FAQs for Wiston

Do you work in Wiston?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Wiston and the rest of West Sussex. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Wiston.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Do you need bath repair in Wiston?

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Wiston

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BN44 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
