Trusted bath repair in Peasmarsh

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Bath repair at your home in Peasmarsh

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Peasmarsh

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Peasmarsh is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Peasmarsh

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Peasmarsh. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Do you need bath repair in Peasmarsh?

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • How to care for the finish
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before you book
