How we handle bath repair in Glynde
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
FAQs for Glynde
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Glynde
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
