Our bath repair service in BN42

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a cracked acrylic bath, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
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.
Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Local landmarks in Southwick

In Southwick, that means homes near Eastbrook Primary Academy, St Michael and All Angels Church and Benfield Hill. You’ll also find The Ship Inn (less than half a mile south), Shoreham Academy (0.5 miles west) and Shoreham College (0.6 miles south-west). Southwick has its own railway station: Southwick station. Other landmarks nearby include Southlands Hospital (1 mile west) and Churchill Square (4 miles east). For a walk, there is Shoreham Beach and Thundersbarrow Hill.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Landlords, agents and businesses in BN42

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in BN42 as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to BN42. The price depends on:

Doing more than one item at once
The type of damage
The size and number of damaged areas
The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

Any details about the material
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

Store metal items away from the bath
Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Common problems we fix in BN42

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

Rusty patches near the plughole
Snagging damage from a refit
A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Holes from dropped items

Your questions about bath repair in BN42

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What do you need from me?

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