When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Bath repair in Birling Gap without replacing anything
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage beneath the taps, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Birling Gap and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Birling Gap: your questions answered
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across East Sussex.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
