About our bath repair in Dallington
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. 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 a chip where the taps sit and holes from dropped items, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common questions in Dallington
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do you come to Dallington?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Dallington and the rest of East Sussex. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Dallington included. Travel is included in the price.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you need bath repair in Dallington?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
There are no surprise 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 quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
