Landlord and trade work in East Dean
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
About our bath repair in East Dean
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and damage beneath the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in East Dean and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
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, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Your questions about bath repair in East Dean
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Do you need bath repair in East Dean?
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
