How we handle bath repair in Heathfield
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions from Heathfield
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Heathfield.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Heathfield
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Signs you need bath repair in Heathfield
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Repairing versus replacing in Heathfield
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Heathfield. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Everything repaired in place
