How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Worthing questions
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Worthing
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Worthing use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When to call us in Worthing
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What affects the price in Worthing
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Worthing. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
