The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bexhill-on-Sea: your questions answered

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

How much does bath repair cost in Bexhill-on-Sea?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Bexhill-on-Sea. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bexhill-on-Sea. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bexhill-on-Sea. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
