About our bath repair in Kingston near Lewes
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Kingston near Lewes, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Do you need bath repair in Kingston near Lewes?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath

FAQs for Kingston near Lewes
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
