About our bath repair in East Dean
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for East Dean. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. 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.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

East Dean questions
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
