DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we handle bath repair in Bishopstone
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and holes from dropped items.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bishopstone and across East Sussex.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Bishopstone
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Bishopstone. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Repairing versus replacing in Bishopstone
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
