Bath repair in Hellingly, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hellingly as everywhere else we work.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
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.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
