Signs you need bath repair in Lewes
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Bath repair in Lewes, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and rust by the waste and overflow.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Lewes. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
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.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
