About our bath repair in Pett
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and snagging damage from a refit.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

FAQs for Pett
How do I get a price for bath repair in Pett?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Pett. Prices don’t change with location.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Pett
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Further afield, we also cover the area around Conquest Hospital (4.5 miles west) and Winchelsea Court Hall Museum (2.7 miles north-east). Not far away are Rye Harbour Nature Reserve.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
