Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Camber: your questions answered
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Which areas do you work in?
All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Are there extra charges for Camber?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover Camber?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Camber for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

What affects the price in Camber
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Camber. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What else we do in Camber
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- 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
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
If you are in Camber and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Camber
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
