Bath and surface repairs in RH16

Live in RH16? We cover Haywards Heath, Lindfield and Walstead and the rest of the district, repairing in place.

How bath repair works in RH16

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and rust by the waste and overflow, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Repair or replace?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel

Landlords, agents and businesses in RH16

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to RH16. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in RH16, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

RH16: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

What information do you need?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

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