Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Bath repair in Poynings without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are cracks in an acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Poynings and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Poynings. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Poynings
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
Comparing quotes
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
