Bath repair in Burwash Common, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and chips along the edge of the bath, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Burwash Common
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
How much does bath repair cost in Burwash Common?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Burwash Common and the rest of East Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burwash Common as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
