Bath Repair for Mark Cross homes
We travel to Mark Cross for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Bath repair in Mark Cross 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. If you are dealing with a chipped rim or side and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Your questions about bath repair in Mark Cross
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Do you come to Mark Cross?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Mark Cross and the rest of East Sussex. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TN6 postcode.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Signs you need bath repair in Mark Cross
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Mark Cross, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Mark Cross
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
