How we handle bath repair in Flimwell
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and deep scratches in acrylic, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Common questions in Flimwell
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across East Sussex.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
