DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Bath repair in Danehill without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include rust by the waste and overflow and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Danehill and across West Sussex.

Landlord and trade work in Danehill
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Danehill questions
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you come to Danehill?
We do. We send a technician to Danehill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When to call us in Danehill

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
