Bath repair in Hove Edge without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repair or replace in Hove Edge?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

- Typically one visit, start to finish

What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Your questions about bath repair in Hove Edge
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
