Bath repair in North Chailey without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chip where the taps sit.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Signs you need bath repair in North Chailey
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures 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.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

FAQs for North Chailey
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
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, which makes it well 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.
