Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, 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, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Bath repair in Offham without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or sides and snagging damage from a refit.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Questions from Offham
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What areas do you cover?
All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Offham
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Offham
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Look out for any of the following:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
