How we handle bath repair in Broad Oak
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and cracks in an acrylic bath, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Broad Oak. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Questions from Broad Oak
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?
The entire UK, including all of East Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you need bath repair in Broad Oak?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
