Bath chip & crack repair in High Cross, East Sussex
Our technicians come to High Cross for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
How we handle bath repair in High Cross
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with snagging damage from a refit and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Repairing versus replacing in High Cross
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in High Cross
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
