How we handle bath repair in Cripp's Corner
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: 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. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Cripp's Corner
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?
Everywhere in the UK, Cripp's Corner included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Signs you need bath repair in Cripp's Corner
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
