Bath repair in Worthing

About our bath repair in Worthing

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Worthing as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Worthing

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a guarantee?

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover Worthing?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Worthing. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Why repair rather than replace?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
