What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
About our bath repair in Eastergate
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

When to call us in Eastergate
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Landlord and trade work in Eastergate
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Common questions in Eastergate
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
