Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
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.
Bath repair in Punnett's Town without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you have scratches you can feel with a fingernail and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
In a village like Punnett's Town, some baths have been in for many years. If the bath is sound, bath repair gives it a new lease of life.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Punnett's Town as everywhere else we work.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

The process
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 morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead. In a village or hamlet like Punnett's Town, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Replacement in Punnett's Town means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common questions in Punnett's Town
Do you come out to small places like Punnett's Town?
We do: small places like Punnett's Town are covered as standard. Just mention any tricky access.
Can you fix baths in a rental near Stonegate station?
Of course: photos and an address are all we need for a price.
Do you cover Punnett's Town?
We do. Technicians travel to Punnett's Town from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Punnett's Town
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
