Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

- Rooms protected and left tidy

Bath repair in Grove Hill without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can normally put it right.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Grove Hill questions
How much does bath repair cost in Grove Hill?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your BN27 postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, 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.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Grove Hill included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across East Sussex.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Grove Hill
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Grove Hill. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Common problems we fix in Grove Hill
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
