Signs you need bath repair in Barcombe
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 until the acrylic gives way.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Landlord and trade work in Barcombe
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Barcombe clients choose us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- One price list for the whole UK
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What affects the price in Barcombe
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Questions from Barcombe
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
