DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Bath repair in Ripe, done in place
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We are frequently asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Ripe
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Ripe and the rest of East Sussex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
When to call us in Ripe
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic

- How to look after the finish
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
