About our bath repair in Hollingrove
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and impact holes in acrylic, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

FAQs for Hollingrove
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Hollingrove and the rest of East Sussex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Are there extra charges for Hollingrove?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
When to call us in Hollingrove
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
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, a professional repair is worth it.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hollingrove. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Hollingrove and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
