Bath repair in Cooksbridge, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Cooksbridge
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we’re called out for in Cooksbridge
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel

Cooksbridge: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover Cooksbridge?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Cooksbridge from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What affects the price in Cooksbridge
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
