How we handle bath repair in Hastings
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust by the waste and overflow, we can normally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hastings and across East Sussex.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can

What else we do in Hastings
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

FAQs for Hastings
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover Hastings?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hastings from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: 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. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
