For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we handle bath repair in Blackboys
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Blackboys
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN22 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What we are called out for in Blackboys
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
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.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Blackboys questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?
The whole UK, including all of East Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
